Genesis Cable 31171012 18/8 CL2P Security Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 31171012 is an 18 AWG, 8-conductor stranded unshielded plenum-rated security cable supplied on a 1000-foot roll in beige jacket. Rated CL2P, this cable meets the National Electrical Code requirements for use in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings where flame spread and smoke production are strictly controlled. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during pulls through conduit or open ceilings. It is a standard choice for low-voltage security, access control, and alarm system wiring where plenum-rated cable is required by code.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential security system installations, including intrusion alarm panels, access control readers, door contacts, and motion detectors. The 8-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or multi-function device wiring in a single cable run. Installers working in plenum-rated air-handling spaces will find this cable compliant with the fire resistance requirements mandated in those environments. The beige jacket blends with standard drop-ceiling and wall finishes common in commercial installations.

• Beige jacket finish suitable for commercial ceiling and wall environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard stranded unshielded CL2P-rated low-voltage security cable suitable for use with intrusion alarm, access control, and related security system equipment requiring 18 AWG 8-conductor plenum-rated wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with NEC Article 760 and local code requirements. De-energize all connected panels and equipment before terminating conductors. Use cable staples, J-hooks, or listed plenum-rated supports rated for the installation environment, and avoid sharp bends that could damage conductor insulation. Do not exceed the cable pulling tension or bend radius specified by the manufacturer.
