Genesis Cable 43115504 16/2 Solid Fplr Fire Alarm Cable Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 43115504 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable with an FPLR (Fire Power Limited Riser) rating, supplied in a 500-foot pull box in red jacket. FPLR-rated cable is listed for use in riser applications, meaning it is approved to run vertically between floors in a building's riser shafts. The solid 16 AWG conductors deliver reliable, low-resistance signal runs for fire alarm initiating and notification circuits. Fire alarm technicians and low-voltage systems installers use this cable for commercial and residential fire protection wiring where a riser-rated, unshielded solid conductor is required by design or code.

This cable is suited for fire alarm control panel circuits, initiating device circuits, and notification appliance circuits in riser or within-floor runs where an unshielded, solid-conductor FPLR product meets the system design specification. The red jacket is the industry-standard color identification for fire alarm wiring, aiding inspection and system documentation. It is typically installed in commercial office buildings, multi-family residential construction, and light industrial facilities where NFPA 72 and local fire codes govern the wiring methods and cable type selection.

Key Features

• FPLR fire-rated designation allows vertical riser installation between floors per NEC Article 760
• 16 AWG solid conductors provide low-resistance, stable signal transmission across long runs
• 2-conductor configuration suits standard initiating and notification circuit wiring
• Red PVC jacket meets industry color conventions for fire alarm systems
• 500-foot pull box simplifies on-site dispensing and reduces cable handling time
• Unshielded construction appropriate for standard fire alarm circuits not requiring EMI shielding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fire alarm wiring solution for unshielded solid-conductor riser circuits in NFPA 72-compliant fire alarm systems where 16 AWG 2-conductor FPLR cable meets the panel manufacturer and authority-having-jurisdiction requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage contractor in accordance with NFPA 72, NEC Article 760, and all applicable local fire codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow the panel manufacturer lockout procedure before making any wiring connections. Do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius during routing, and secure the cable at intervals required by the authority having jurisdiction. All riser penetrations must be firestopped per applicable building and fire codes.
