Genesis Cable 22171009 18/8 Stranded Shielded CL2R Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 22171009 is an 18 AWG, 8-conductor stranded shielded security cable rated CL2R for in-wall and riser installations. The CL2R rating means this cable meets the National Electrical Code requirements for use in riser applications, making it suitable for running between floors in commercial and residential buildings. The stranded conductors provide flexibility during installation and routing through conduit or tight spaces. The overall shield helps reduce electromagnetic interference, which is critical in security and low-voltage signal applications. This cable ships on a 1,000-foot roll, giving installers enough material for large jobs without mid-run splices.

This cable is used in low-voltage security system installations, including access control wiring, alarm panels, motion detectors, and similar signal-circuit applications. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial projects where a riser-rated, shielded multi-conductor cable is required by code or system design. Licensed low-voltage and security system technicians are the primary installers of this product.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and ease of termination
• 8-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or multi-function security wiring runs
• Overall shield reduces EMI and signal interference in security circuit applications
• CL2R riser rating meets NEC requirements for vertical between-floor installations
• 1,000-foot roll minimizes splices on large or multi-floor installations
• Gray jacket for standard identification in low-voltage security wiring environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-format stranded shielded security cable for use with access control systems, intrusion alarm panels, and other low-voltage security equipment requiring an 18 AWG 8-conductor CL2R-rated cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and any applicable local codes. De-energize all connected equipment before making terminations. When installing in riser pathways, follow building fire-stop requirements at each floor penetration. Avoid running this cable in close parallel proximity to line-voltage wiring to minimize interference even with the shield in place.
