Genesis Cable 32165012 18/6 Stranded Shielded Plenum Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 32165012 is an 18 AWG, 6-conductor stranded shielded plenum-rated cable designed for low-voltage security, access control, and building automation wiring applications. The plenum (CMP) rating means it meets strict flame and smoke requirements for use in air-handling spaces without conduit, keeping installations code-compliant in commercial and institutional buildings. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during pull-through and termination. This cable ships on a roll and is installed by licensed low-voltage technicians, security integrators, and building automation contractors.

This cable is well suited for commercial and residential security panel wiring, access control runs, intercom systems, and general low-voltage signal distribution. Its CMP plenum rating makes it the correct choice when routing through air plenums, dropped ceilings used as return-air ducts, or other environmental air spaces where NEC Article 800 or 725 requires plenum-rated materials. The beige jacket blends with standard ceiling and wall finishes common in commercial build-outs.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation and termination
• 6-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or multi-function low-voltage wiring runs
• CMP plenum rating meets NEC requirements for use in air-handling spaces without conduit
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference on signal runs
• Beige jacket finish suits standard commercial and residential interior environments
• Roll packaging simplifies jobsite handling and pulling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 18/6 stranded shielded plenum cable for use with low-voltage security systems, access control panels, intercom systems, and building automation controllers that accept 18 AWG multi-conductor shielded wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or security integrator in accordance with NEC Article 725 or 800 as applicable to the system type. De-energize all connected panels and control equipment before making terminations. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, and do not overtighten cable ties, which can deform the jacket and affect shielding integrity. Plenum-rated cable must be used in any air-handling space where a non-plenum substitute would not meet local code.
