Genesis Cable 31261112 18/3 Stranded CL2P Plenum Security Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 31261112 is an 18 AWG, 3-conductor stranded unshielded security cable rated CL2P for plenum-space installation. The CL2P rating means this cable meets the fire-resistance and low-smoke requirements mandated by the National Electrical Code for air-handling plenum spaces. Supplied on a 1000-foot box reel in a natural (off-white) jacket, it is designed for low-voltage security, access control, and alarm wiring in commercial and residential applications. Licensed alarm installers and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is suited for use in security alarm systems, access control panels, motion detector wiring, and similar low-voltage signal circuits where plenum-rated cable is required by code. The natural jacket color allows installers to identify and differentiate circuits during rough-in and finish work. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility during pulls through tight conduit runs or above suspended ceilings.

Key Features

• CL2P plenum rating satisfies NEC requirements for installation in air-handling ceiling and wall spaces
• 18 AWG stranded conductors provide flexibility for long runs and routing through confined pathways
• 3-conductor configuration supports common security and alarm circuit layouts
• Unshielded construction keeps the cable profile compact and lightweight for standard signal circuits
• Natural jacket color aids circuit identification on multi-cable installations
• 1000-foot box reel reduces waste and simplifies inventory management on larger jobs

Compatibility

Designed for use in low-voltage security, alarm, and access control wiring applications where a CL2P-rated plenum cable is required by the National Electrical Code or local authority having jurisdiction.

Installation Notes

Installation must comply with NEC Article 725 governing Class 2 wiring and any applicable local codes. This cable is rated for plenum spaces but must not be substituted for riser-rated (CL2R) or general-purpose applications where a higher rating is required. De-energize all connected panels and control equipment before terminating conductors. Low-voltage alarm and access control installers should verify the authority having jurisdiction accepts CL2P in lieu of other cable classifications before rough-in.
