Genesis Cable 31221012 16/4 CL2P Security Cable 1000 Ft Beige

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 31221012 is a 16 AWG 4-conductor stranded unshielded security cable rated CL2P for plenum-rated installations. It is designed for low-voltage security, access control, and alarm system wiring in commercial and residential applications. The CL2P plenum rating means the jacket meets the smoke and flame requirements for air-handling spaces, making it suitable for installation in drop ceilings and raised floors used as return-air plenums. Sold as a 1000-foot roll in a beige jacket, this cable is a standard choice for security integrators and low-voltage contractors who need a code-compliant, pull-ready product.

This cable is used in security alarm panels, access control systems, motion detector runs, door contact wiring, and similar low-voltage signal circuits. The 4-conductor configuration supports common point-to-point wiring layouts found in residential and light commercial security installations. The beige jacket color is common for surface or semi-concealed runs where a neutral appearance is required. Stranded conductors allow for easier termination at device headers and screw terminals compared to solid conductor alternatives.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard low-voltage security cable for use with alarm panels, access control systems, and similar devices that accept 16 AWG stranded conductors in a 4-conductor configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security contractor in accordance with applicable NEC Articles 725 and 800 governing Class 2 wiring. Confirm the CL2P rating is required by local code before routing through plenum air-handling spaces. De-energize connected panels and control equipment before terminating conductors. Avoid sharp bends and contact with high-voltage wiring to prevent signal interference and jacket damage.
