Genesis Cable 31961001 Access Control Cable Shielded

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 31961001 is a multi-conductor, multi-pair composite access control cable designed for low-voltage security and access control wiring applications. It combines 18 AWG 4-conductor wire with 22 AWG 2-pair, 4-pair, and 6-pair shielded segments in a single jacket, allowing installers to run power, data, and signal conductors together in one pull. The foil shield on the 22 AWG pairs provides protection against electromagnetic interference common in commercial environments. This cable is sold in a 1000-foot spool and is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage or security system technicians.

This composite cable is suited for commercial and residential access control systems where a single cable run must carry both door-strike or lock power and reader or data signals. Typical applications include card reader wiring, electric lock power feeds, door position switch loops, and request-to-exit device connections. The multi-pair 22 AWG shielded segments support clean signal transmission for credential readers and alarm panels while the 18 AWG conductors handle power requirements for electrified hardware.

Key Features

• Composite design combines 18 AWG 4-conductor and 22 AWG 2-pair, 4-pair, and 6-pair shielded segments in one cable
• Individual foil shields on 22 AWG pairs reduce electromagnetic interference on signal lines
• Single-jacket construction reduces conduit fill and simplifies multi-function cable pulls
• 1000-foot spool length suitable for commercial rough-in installations
• Designed for low-voltage access control, card reader, and electrified lock applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-specification cable for low-voltage access control wiring systems requiring composite multi-conductor and multi-pair shielded cable construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with applicable NEC Article 725 requirements for Class 2 or Class 3 low-voltage wiring. De-energize all connected access control hardware and power supplies before terminating conductors. Maintain minimum bend radius during pulling to avoid damaging foil shields on the 22 AWG pairs. Do not bundle this cable in close proximity to high-voltage conductors without proper separation as required by code.
