Genesis Cable 31521001 16/2 Solid Plenum Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 31521001 is a 16/2 solid conductor unshielded plenum-rated cable supplied on a 1000-foot roll in white jacket. Plenum-rated construction meets the stricter smoke and flame requirements for installation inside air-handling spaces, including return-air plenums and ducts. The solid 16 AWG conductors provide consistent signal integrity and low resistance across long runs, making this wire appropriate for low-voltage control wiring applications such as security, fire alarm, and building automation systems. Licensed electrical and low-voltage contractors install this type of cable in commercial and residential projects where code requires plenum-grade materials.

This cable is suited for low-voltage wiring in plenum air spaces where standard PVC-jacketed cable is not permitted by fire code. Typical applications include security system wiring, access control, intercom runs, and HVAC zone-control signal wiring routed through ceiling plenums or HVAC ductwork. The 1000-foot roll length supports larger commercial installations and reduces the need for mid-run splices on extended cable paths. The white jacket finish is standard for plenum environments and aids visual identification during inspection.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated jacket meets NFPA 90A requirements for installation in air-handling spaces
• 16 AWG solid conductors for low-voltage control and signal wiring
• 2-conductor unshielded configuration for straightforward point-to-point wiring
• 1000-foot roll minimizes splice points on long commercial runs
• White jacket finish suitable for plenum ceiling environments

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated replacement or new-install conductor for low-voltage control wiring applications in systems requiring CMP-rated cable in air-handling spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrical or low-voltage contractor in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) and local jurisdiction requirements. Verify plenum rating is required for the specific air-handling space before substituting standard PVC cable. De-energize all connected equipment before terminating conductors at control panels or device endpoints. Do not exceed the cable's rated voltage or install in environments beyond the jacket's temperature rating.
