Genesis Cable 32141109 18/2 Stranded Plenum Security Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 32141109 is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor stranded shielded security cable rated for plenum (CL2P) installations. It is designed for low-voltage security, alarm, and access control systems where the cable run passes through air-handling spaces such as dropped ceilings and HVAC plenums. The plenum rating means the jacket compound meets smoke and flame requirements for these sensitive airflow zones. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility during pulling and termination. This cable ships in a 1,000-foot pull box, making it suitable for larger commercial or multi-zone residential security installations.

This cable is used in commercial and residential security wiring applications where plenum-rated (CL2P) cable is required by local fire and building codes. Typical installations include intrusion alarm loops, door and window contact wiring, motion detector feeds, and access control panel runs routed through ceiling plenums or other air-handling spaces. Security system installers and low-voltage contractors are the primary trades working with this product. The gray jacket is standard for security cable applications and blends with common plenum ceiling environments.

Key Features

• CL2P plenum rating meets smoke and flame spread requirements for air-handling space installations
• 18 AWG stranded conductors provide flexibility for pulling through conduit or open plenum runs
• 2-conductor configuration suits standard security sensor and alarm wiring layouts
• Shielded construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) on low-voltage signal runs
• 1,000-foot box packaging supports larger job sites and reduces mid-run splices
• Gray jacket finish is conventional for security and alarm cable identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-supply cable for low-voltage security, alarm, and access control wiring systems requiring CL2P plenum-rated 18/2 stranded shielded cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems contractor in accordance with NEC Article 725 and applicable local codes. De-energize all connected panels and control equipment before terminating conductors. Plenum-rated cable must be used in air-handling spaces as required by code — do not substitute non-plenum cable in these locations. Verify shield drain wire termination requirements at the panel end per the system manufacturer's instructions.
