Genesis Cable 43065501 18 Awg 2C Solid Fplr Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 43065501 is an 18 AWG 2-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable rated FPLR (Riser) for use in commercial and residential fire detection and notification systems. FPLR rating means the cable meets UL flame-spread requirements for vertical runs in riser applications, making it suitable for routing between floors through building shafts. The solid conductor construction supports reliable low-voltage signal transmission for initiating devices, notification appliances, and control circuits. This product ships in a 500-foot pull box for clean, tangle-free installation. The white jacket aids identification in conduit or open plenum-adjacent runs.

This cable is used in fire alarm system rough-in and finish work across residential and light commercial applications. It is appropriate for connecting smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations, horn-strobes, and auxiliary control circuits back to a fire alarm control panel. The riser rating makes it a code-compliant choice for vertical shaft runs where plenum-rated cable is not required. Installers typically specify FPLR cable in new construction and retrofit fire alarm projects governed by NFPA 72 and local building codes.

Key Features

• FPLR riser rating meets UL flame-spread requirements for vertical shaft installations
• 18 AWG solid conductors provide stable resistance for low-voltage fire alarm circuits
• 2-conductor configuration suits standard initiating device and notification appliance wiring
• Unshielded construction keeps installation straightforward where shielding is not required
• White PVC jacket supports circuit identification and is compatible with common conduit and open-air routing
• 500-foot pull box reduces cable handling time on the job

Compatibility

Designed as an FPLR-rated riser fire alarm cable for use in low-voltage fire detection and notification circuits in residential and commercial installations per NFPA 72 requirements.

Installation Notes

Fire alarm cable installation must comply with NFPA 72, NFPA 70 (NEC Article 760), and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow the authority-having-jurisdiction lockout procedures before splicing or terminating conductors. Use listed cable supports and maintain required separation from power-limited and non-power-limited circuits as defined by NEC. Only qualified fire alarm technicians or licensed electricians should perform final terminations and system commissioning.
