Genesis Cable 43071004 18/4 Solid Fplr Fire Alarm Cable Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 43071004 is an 18 AWG, 4-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable with an FPLR (Fire Power Limited Riser) rating and a red jacket. Designed for use in fire detection and signaling systems, this cable is built to meet riser-rated installation requirements, meaning it is suitable for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings. The solid conductor construction supports reliable low-voltage signal transmission across fire alarm control panel circuits. It ships as a 1,000-foot roll, making it a practical quantity for new construction and larger retrofit projects handled by licensed fire alarm or low-voltage contractors.

This cable is used in fire alarm and life safety signaling installations where a riser-rated, unshielded solid conductor cable is required. Typical applications include connecting initiating devices, notification appliances, and control panels in multi-story commercial buildings, hotels, schools, and residential high-rises. The red jacket color is the industry-standard identifier for fire alarm wiring, supporting visual compliance during inspections. The 4-conductor configuration supports standard two-zone or Class B wiring topologies commonly found in addressable and conventional fire alarm systems.

Key Features

• FPLR-rated for vertical riser runs between floors in multi-story structures
• 18 AWG solid conductor construction for stable low-voltage signal integrity
• 4-conductor configuration supports standard fire alarm circuit wiring layouts
• Red PVC jacket provides visual identification as fire alarm cable per industry convention
• 1,000-foot roll quantity suits large commercial new construction and major retrofit work
• Unshielded design appropriate for fire alarm signaling circuits not requiring EMI shielding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fire alarm cable suitable for use with conventional and addressable fire alarm control panels requiring FPLR-rated 18 AWG 4-conductor solid wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm or low-voltage contractor in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. Power down and isolate the fire alarm control panel before making any wiring connections. Cable must be routed through listed riser openings with proper firestopping at all floor penetrations as required by the International Building Code. Do not exceed the cable bend radius or use staples that could damage the jacket or conductor insulation.
