Genesis Cable 43061103 18/2 Solid Fplr Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 43061103 is an 18/2 solid-conductor FPLR-rated fire alarm cable supplied in a 1000-foot box in orange jacket. FPLR (Fire Power Limited Riser) designates this cable as listed for use in riser applications, meaning it is rated to prevent flame spread between floors in a building. The 18 AWG solid conductors provide stable, low-resistance signal paths suitable for initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and control wiring in fire alarm systems. Fire alarm installers and low-voltage electricians work with this cable on new construction and retrofit projects alike.

This cable is used in commercial and residential fire alarm installations where riser-rated wiring is required by the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72) or local authority having jurisdiction. Typical applications include connecting smoke detectors, pull stations, horn-strobes, and control panels in multi-story buildings where cable must pass through floor penetrations or vertical runs inside walls. The orange jacket aids in visual identification of fire alarm wiring during inspection and service.

Key Features

• FPLR riser rating for vertical runs between floors in multi-story buildings
• 18 AWG solid conductors for stable, low-resistance signal circuits
• 2-conductor configuration suitable for initiating and notification circuits
• Orange jacket for easy visual identification of fire alarm wiring
• 1000-foot box format for straightforward pull and cut-to-length installation
• Unshielded construction suited for standard fire alarm circuit applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-install solution for unshielded solid-conductor fire alarm wiring applications requiring FPLR riser-rated 18/2 cable.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed low-voltage or fire alarm contractor in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and notify the monitoring station before splicing or connecting conductors. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid sharp edges or staples that can damage the jacket and compromise the riser rating. All riser penetrations through fire-rated floor assemblies must be firestopped per the applicable building code.
