Genesis Cable 43065504 18/2 Solid Fplr Fire Alarm Cable Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 43065504 is an 18 AWG 2-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable rated FPLR (Riser) and packaged in a 500-foot pull box in red jacket. This cable is designed for use in fire alarm and life-safety signaling circuits where a riser-rated, unshielded solid-conductor cable is required. Licensed fire alarm installers and low-voltage electricians specify this cable for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings. The FPLR rating confirms the cable meets flame-spread requirements for riser applications under the National Electrical Code.

This cable is used in fire alarm systems requiring 18 AWG 2-conductor solid wire for notification appliance circuits, initiating device circuits, and signaling line circuits. The red jacket provides quick visual identification in the field, which is standard practice for fire alarm wiring. It suits both new construction and retrofit projects in light commercial and residential occupancies where a riser-rated cable is specified by the authority having jurisdiction.

Key Features

• FPLR (Riser) rating meets NEC Article 760 requirements for vertical riser runs
• 18 AWG solid conductors for fire alarm signaling circuits
• 2-conductor configuration for standard initiating and notification circuits
• Red jacket for code-required visual identification of fire alarm wiring
• Unshielded design appropriate for standard fire alarm circuit applications
• 500-foot pull box for clean, tangle-free cable pulls on the job

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard supply cable for use in FPLR-rated fire alarm and life-safety signaling installations requiring 18 AWG 2-conductor solid unshielded cable.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or fire alarm technician in accordance with NEC Article 760 and applicable local fire codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and notify the monitoring station before beginning any wiring work. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid sharp edges that could damage the jacket during pulls. All terminations should be made per the fire alarm control panel manufacturer's wiring instructions and inspected by the authority having jurisdiction.
