Genesis Cable 22223909 16AWG 4-conductor Shielded Cmr Cable 50ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 22223909 is a 16 AWG, 4-conductor stranded shielded security cable designed for low-voltage signal and control wiring in commercial and residential installations. Built to CMR (Riser) and FT4 flame ratings, this cable meets the fire-spread requirements needed for in-wall and vertical runs inside buildings. The stranded construction improves flexibility during routing through conduit, cable trays, and junction boxes. The overall aluminum foil shield provides protection against electromagnetic interference, which is critical in security, access control, and alarm system wiring. The gray jacket blends into typical commercial installation environments and resists abrasion during pull-through.

This cable is suited for security alarm systems, access control panels, intercom wiring, and low-voltage control circuits in both commercial and light industrial settings. It is sold in a 5-pack of 50-foot coils (250 total feet), making it practical for service technicians who stock multiple job quantities. Installers working on intrusion detection systems, door contact loops, motion detector wiring, and similar supervised circuits will find this gauge and conductor count appropriate for typical panel-to-device home runs.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded conductors for improved flexibility in tight routing
• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or powered-device wiring in a single cable run
• Overall shield (OAS) reduces EMI and RFI interference on signal circuits
• CMR riser rating meets NEC requirements for vertical in-building cable runs
• FT4 flame rating satisfies Canadian fire-spread standards
• Gray PVC jacket for durability and standard commercial aesthetics

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style security cable for use with standard low-voltage security, alarm, and access control systems requiring 16 AWG 4-conductor shielded riser-rated cable.

Installation Notes

This cable is typically installed by licensed low-voltage or alarm technicians in accordance with NEC Article 725 for Class 2 and Class 3 circuits. De-energize connected panels and control equipment before terminating conductors. The foil shield drain wire should be terminated at one end only to avoid ground loops on signal circuits. Avoid running this cable parallel to high-voltage AC wiring to preserve signal integrity.
