Genesis Cable 44021004 18/2 Solid Fplr Fire Alarm Cable Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 44021004 is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable rated FPLR (Fire Power Limited Riser), supplied on a 1,000-foot reel in red jacket. FPLR-rated cable is listed for use in riser applications, meaning it is designed to resist flame spread between floors through vertical runs inside building cavities. This cable is suited for low-voltage fire alarm signaling circuits and is installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and electricians on commercial and residential fire protection systems.

This cable is used in fire alarm and life-safety system installations where a riser-rated, solid-conductor wire is required. The red jacket color is the industry standard for fire alarm wiring, making circuit identification straightforward during installation and inspection. It is appropriate for use in notification appliance circuits, initiating device circuits, and signaling line circuits where the authority having jurisdiction accepts FPLR-rated cable. The 1,000-foot reel format suits larger commercial jobs or multi-unit residential projects.

Key Features

• FPLR riser rating for vertical runs through floor-to-floor building cavities
• 18 AWG solid conductor construction for reliable low-voltage fire alarm signaling
• 2-conductor configuration for standard initiating or notification circuit wiring
• Red jacket for code-compliant, easy visual identification of fire alarm circuits
• 1,000-foot reel reduces splices and speeds installation on larger projects

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fitment fire alarm cable for low-voltage fire alarm and life-safety signaling circuits requiring FPLR-rated, 18 AWG 2-conductor solid wire.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow lockout/tagout procedures before splicing or terminating conductors. FPLR cable must be routed through rated riser shafts or equivalent vertical pathways as required by the authority having jurisdiction. Do not substitute this cable in plenum-rated applications where CL2P or FPLP ratings are required.
