Genesis Cable 22285009 18/3 Stranded Shielded Cmr Security Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 22285009 is an 18 AWG, 3-conductor stranded shielded security cable rated CMR (riser) and FT4, supplied on a 500-foot roll in gray jacket. Designed for low-voltage security and alarm system wiring, this cable carries signals reliably in commercial and residential riser applications where fire-rated cable is required by code. The overall aluminum shield provides noise rejection in environments with electromagnetic interference. Licensed security installers and low-voltage electricians are the primary tradespeople who specify and pull this cable.

This cable is suited for riser-rated installations in multi-story buildings, including burglar alarm, access control, and security system signal runs. The stranded conductors improve flexibility during pulls through conduit or open plenum-adjacent riser spaces. The gray jacket is a common color for security cable and aids in system identification during installation and service. It ships on a single roll, making it practical for larger jobs or repeated service calls requiring bulk material on hand.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation pulls
• 3-conductor configuration for typical security and alarm signal circuits
• Overall aluminum shield reduces electromagnetic interference on signal runs
• CMR riser rating meets fire code requirements for in-wall and riser installations
• FT4 flame rating satisfies Canadian and dual-market project specifications
• Gray jacket aids visual identification in multi-cable security system wiring

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-supply cable for low-voltage security, burglar alarm, and access control system wiring in riser-rated residential and commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or security system technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and applicable local codes. De-energize all connected equipment before terminating conductors. Maintain the cable bend radius specified by the manufacturer to avoid damaging the internal shield, and keep signal cable routed away from high-voltage power conductors to preserve signal integrity.
