Genesis Cable 32142103 18/2 Stranded Shielded Security Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 32142103 is an 18 AWG 2-conductor stranded shielded security cable supplied in a 1,000-foot rollbox. Built to PLE (plenum) and FT6 ratings, it is engineered for low-voltage security, alarm, and access control wiring in commercial and residential installations. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility during pull-through and termination. The overall shield provides protection against electromagnetic interference, keeping signal integrity intact across long runs. Licensed security and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers for this type of cable.

This cable is suited for installation in plenum-rated air-handling spaces, making it appropriate for above-ceiling and open-return-air environments where fire and smoke spread ratings are required by code. The FT6 rating satisfies Canadian installation requirements as well. Typical applications include intrusion detection panels, motion detector wiring, door and window contact wiring, and access control reader connections. The rollbox packaging reduces tangling and speeds up deployment on the job site.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and ease of termination
• 2-conductor configuration suitable for standard security and alarm circuits
• Overall shield reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference
• Plenum-rated (PLE) jacket meets smoke and fire spread requirements for air-handling spaces
• FT6 rating satisfies Canadian installation code requirements
• 1,000-foot rollbox format for efficient deployment on large installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style low-voltage security cable for use with residential and commercial intrusion alarm panels, access control systems, and other 18 AWG 2-conductor shielded cable applications requiring plenum-rated wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with NFPA 72, NEC Article 760, and any applicable local codes. De-energize the control panel and connected devices before making terminations. Plenum cable must be used in plenum-rated spaces as defined by the authority having jurisdiction. Avoid sharp bends or kinks during pull-through to preserve shield continuity and conductor integrity.
