Genesis Cable 22225009 16/4 Stranded Shielded Cmr Security Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 22225009 is a 16 AWG, 4-conductor stranded shielded security cable rated CMR (riser) and FT4, designed for low-voltage security, access control, and alarm system wiring in commercial and residential buildings. The stranded construction provides flexibility during routing through conduit, raceways, and tight building cavities. The overall aluminum shield helps reduce electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for signal-sensitive security applications. The gray outer jacket is a standard color for security cabling and assists with identification in multi-cable installations. This cable is installed by licensed alarm technicians, low-voltage contractors, and security system integrators.

This cable is suited for fire alarm notification circuits, intrusion detection systems, access control wiring, and similar low-voltage security applications where a CMR riser rating is required by code. The FT4 flame rating satisfies Canadian electrical code requirements, making it appropriate for installations requiring compliance with both U.S. and Canadian standards. It ships on a reel for controlled payout during longer runs in multi-story or large-footprint buildings.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility in routing through conduit and raceways
• Overall aluminum foil shield reduces EMI interference on signal-carrying circuits
• CMR riser rating meets NEC requirements for use in riser and general-purpose applications
• FT4 flame rating satisfies Canadian electrical code compliance
• Gray outer jacket for standard security cable identification
• Reel packaging supports clean, tangle-free payout on longer runs

Compatibility

Designed as a riser-rated low-voltage security cable for use in residential and commercial alarm, access control, and intrusion detection system wiring where 16 AWG 4-conductor shielded cable is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm contractor in accordance with NEC Article 725 and applicable local codes. De-energize all connected panels and control equipment before terminating conductors. Maintain minimum bend radius during routing to avoid damaging the foil shield. Do not run low-voltage security cable in the same conduit as line-voltage wiring unless the cable is rated for that application.
