Genesis Cable 43125004 16 Awg 4C Solid Fplr Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 43125004 is a 16 AWG, 4-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable with an FPLR (Riser) jacket rating, supplied on a reel in red. FPLR-rated cable is listed for use in riser applications, meaning it is suitable for installation in vertical runs between floors within a building. The solid conductor construction is standard for fire alarm signaling circuits, providing reliable, low-resistance continuity throughout the circuit path. This cable is used by licensed fire alarm technicians and electrical contractors installing or extending fire detection and notification systems.

This cable is intended for use in commercial and residential fire alarm systems requiring an unshielded, solid-conductor riser-rated wire. It is well suited for connecting initiating devices, notification appliances, and control panel circuits where NEC Article 760 governs the installation. The red jacket color is the industry-standard visual identifier for fire alarm wiring, aiding inspection and future service identification.

Key Features

• 16 AWG solid conductors for low-resistance fire alarm signaling circuits
• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or Class A wiring layouts
• FPLR riser rating meets NEC Article 760 requirements for vertical floor-to-floor runs
• Unshielded construction appropriate for conventional and addressable fire alarm panels
• Red outer jacket provides immediate visual identification as fire alarm wiring
• Reel packaging reduces kinking and simplifies pulls in new construction or retrofit work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation conductor for unshielded solid FPLR fire alarm wiring applications in residential and commercial riser installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or certified fire alarm technician in accordance with NEC Article 760 and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the fire alarm panel and any affected circuits before making connections. FPLR cable is approved for riser use but is not rated for plenum spaces — verify the correct cable rating for the specific installation environment before pulling wire. Support and secure the cable at intervals required by the authority having jurisdiction.
