Genesis Cable 41565008 18/2 Outdoor Fire Alarm Cable Black

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 41565008 is an 18 AWG 2-conductor stranded outdoor fire alarm cable finished in black. Built for unshielded fire alarm circuit wiring, it is rated for outdoor installation and carries the conductor configuration and gauge required for low-voltage fire alarm signaling circuits. The stranded construction improves flexibility during routing through conduit or along building exteriors. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians install this cable as part of initiating device circuits and notification appliance circuits in commercial and residential fire alarm systems.

This cable is suited for outdoor fire alarm applications where exposure to moisture, UV, and temperature variation is expected. It is commonly used to connect fire alarm control panels to peripheral devices such as pull stations, smoke detectors, and horn-strobe units located on building exteriors or in unconditioned spaces. The black jacket aids in identifying outdoor-rated runs and provides a finished appearance on surface-mount installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock option for unshielded 18 AWG 2-conductor outdoor fire alarm cable applications in low-voltage fire alarm systems.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and all applicable local codes. Power down the fire alarm control panel and follow lockout-tagout procedures before making any wiring connections. Route and support cable per manufacturer guidelines and code requirements, and verify conductor polarity at each device termination before restoring power to the circuit.
