Genesis Cable 3114111R 18/2 Stranded Security Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 3114111R is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor stranded, unshielded security cable supplied in a 1000-foot pull box. Designed for low-voltage alarm and access control wiring, this cable uses a plain (unshielded) construction suited for standard security system runs where external interference shielding is not required. The two conductors are color-coded white and red for straightforward polarity identification during termination. Electricians and security system installers use this cable for zone wiring, door contacts, motion detectors, and similar low-voltage devices in both residential and light commercial applications.

This cable is a go-to choice for security alarm system installations where a flexible, stranded conductor is preferred over solid for routing through conduit or along finished surfaces. The 1000-foot box format supports full job-site pulls without mid-run splices. Its unshielded plain jacket construction keeps termination simple, and the stranded construction makes the cable more flexible and resistant to fatigue from repeated flex during installation.

Key Features

• 18 AWG 2-conductor stranded construction for flexibility and ease of routing
• Unshielded plain jacket suitable for standard low-voltage security wiring
• White and red conductor color coding for fast, consistent polarity identification
• 1000-foot pull box format minimizes mid-run splices on large jobs
• Rated for security and alarm system wiring per category classification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose low-voltage security cable for use with alarm panels, door contacts, motion detectors, and access control devices in residential and light commercial security system installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified security system technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 70 (NEC) low-voltage wiring requirements. De-energize the alarm panel and disconnect the backup battery before terminating conductors at the control board or device. Use a wire stripper sized for 18 AWG to avoid nicking strands. Secure the cable at appropriate intervals per code and keep runs away from high-voltage conductors to minimize interference.
