Genesis Cable 31151112 18/4 CL2P Plenum Security Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 31151112 is an 18 AWG, 4-conductor stranded unshielded security cable rated CL2P for plenum-space installation. The plenum rating means the jacket compound meets the low-smoke, flame-spread requirements mandated when cable runs through air-handling spaces such as drop ceilings and raised floors used as HVAC return-air plenums. The stranded construction allows easier routing through conduit and around corners compared to solid conductors. The beige jacket blends with common commercial ceiling environments. This cable ships in a 1,000-foot pull box, making it practical for full-zone runs without mid-run splices.

This cable is used in commercial and residential security, access control, and low-voltage alarm system installations. It is suited for wiring door contacts, motion detectors, glass-break sensors, and similar 4-wire low-voltage devices where a plenum-rated cable is required by the authority having jurisdiction. Electricians and low-voltage security technicians install this product in new construction and retrofit projects where the cable path passes through or is exposed to plenum air-handling spaces.

Key Features

• CL2P plenum rating meets NEC Article 800 and 725 requirements for air-handling space cable routing
• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexible routing through conduit and tight pathways
• 4-conductor configuration supports standard 4-wire security and access control device wiring
• Unshielded design keeps installation straightforward where EMI shielding is not required
• Beige jacket finish suitable for exposed commercial ceiling and wall runs
• 1,000-foot box packaging reduces waste and simplifies large-zone pulls

Compatibility

Designed for use in low-voltage security, alarm, and access control wiring applications requiring a CL2P plenum-rated 18 AWG 4-conductor stranded cable per NEC installation requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or licensed low-voltage contractor in accordance with NEC Article 725 and local amendments. Verify with the authority having jurisdiction that CL2P rating satisfies the plenum classification for the specific air-handling space before routing. De-energize all connected control panels and devices before terminating conductors. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during pulls to avoid damaging the stranded conductors or jacket.
