Genesis Cable 31261012 18/3 Stranded CL2P Security Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 31261012 is an 18 AWG, 3-conductor stranded, unshielded security cable rated CL2P for plenum-rated installations. It ships on a 1000-foot reel and features a beige outer jacket suited to low-voltage alarm, access control, and security system wiring. The CL2P listing indicates the cable meets plenum flame and smoke requirements under the National Electrical Code, making it appropriate for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit in many jurisdictions. This cable is designed for professional installation by licensed low-voltage technicians and security system contractors.

This cable is used in commercial and residential security system installations where a plenum-rated, unshielded conductor is required. Typical applications include intrusion alarm panels, motion detectors, door and window contacts, access control readers, and similar low-voltage security devices. The 1000-foot reel quantity is sized for professional trade use on multi-zone or multi-device installations. The beige jacket blends with standard interior finishes common in commercial and light commercial environments.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during routing and termination
• 3-conductor configuration suits common alarm and access control wiring topologies
• CL2P plenum rating meets NEC requirements for air-handling space installation
• Unshielded construction keeps weight and diameter minimal for high-density conduit or plenum runs
• Beige jacket finish suits standard commercial interior environments
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splice points on large installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard plenum-rated low-voltage security cable suitable for use with intrusion alarm, access control, and similar 18 AWG 3-conductor wiring applications where a CL2P listing is required.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and local jurisdiction requirements. Confirm the plenum CL2P rating is required for the specific air-handling space before pulling cable. De-energize all panel circuits before making terminations at control boards or device endpoints. Avoid sharp bends that could damage stranded conductors during pull-through.
