Genesis Cable 22281109 18/3 Stranded Shielded Security Cable Gray

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 22281109 is an 18 AWG, 3-conductor stranded shielded security cable rated CMR (riser) and FT4, supplied in a 1000-foot pull box in gray jacket. CMR riser rating meets the fire-resistance requirements for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings. FT4 dual certification satisfies Canadian flame-test standards, making this cable suitable for cross-border projects. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during installation through conduit, cable trays, and tight pathways. Licensed security and low-voltage alarm technicians are the primary installers for this product type.

This cable is commonly used in security alarm systems, access control wiring, and low-voltage signal runs where a riser-rated, shielded cable is required. The shield layer reduces electromagnetic interference on signal conductors, which is critical in environments with nearby electrical noise sources such as HVAC equipment, lighting ballasts, or motor loads. The 1000-foot box format is suited for commercial installations and multi-zone residential projects where larger pulls are needed without mid-run splices.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility in long or routed runs
• 3-conductor configuration with shield for signal integrity
• CMR riser rating meets NEC requirements for vertical inter-floor runs
• FT4 flame rating satisfies Canadian electrical code requirements
• Gray PVC jacket for standard identification in security applications
• 1000-foot box format reduces splice points on large installations

Compatibility

Designed for use in low-voltage security alarm, access control, and signal wiring applications requiring CMR riser-rated stranded shielded cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and applicable local codes. De-energize any connected control panels or power supplies before terminating conductors. Maintain minimum bend radius during pulls to protect the shield from deforming, which can degrade interference rejection. Do not bundle riser cable with line-voltage conductors in the same conduit.
