Genesis Cable 32171012 18/8 Stranded Shielded CL2P Cable Beige

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 32171012 is an 18 AWG, 8-conductor stranded shielded security cable rated CL2P for plenum-rated installations. Built for low-voltage signal and control wiring, this cable carries the CL2P listing required in air-handling spaces where building codes restrict the use of non-plenum materials. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility during pull-through and termination work compared to solid conductors. It ships as a 1000-foot roll in a beige jacket, making it well-suited for concealed runs in commercial and residential security and access-control systems.

This cable is primarily used in security alarm, access control, audio distribution, and intercom wiring applications. The plenum rating makes it appropriate for runs through air ducts, plenums, and raised-floor air-return spaces where local fire codes require CL2P or FPL-P rated cable. Installers specify this cable in commercial buildings, office environments, schools, and multi-family residential projects where code compliance in air-handling spaces is mandatory. The 8-conductor count supports multi-zone control panels and devices requiring multiple signal or power conductors in a single run.

Key Features

• CL2P plenum rating meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling space installations
• 18 AWG stranded conductors provide flexibility for routing through conduit and tight pathways
• 8-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or multi-function low-voltage wiring in a single cable
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference on signal lines
• 1000-foot roll length reduces splice points on longer runs
• Beige jacket blends with standard ceiling and wall finishes for low-visibility surface runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum security cable suitable for use with low-voltage security alarm panels, access control devices, intercoms, and other 8-conductor control wiring applications requiring CL2P-rated cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 725 and local fire codes governing plenum-rated cable. Confirm the CL2P rating is accepted by the authority having jurisdiction before installing in air-handling spaces. De-energize any connected control panels or devices before terminating conductors. Avoid sharp bends, staples, or crush points that can damage the shield or compromise the jacket integrity.
