Genesis Cable 44061004 16/2 Solid Fplr Fire Alarm Cable Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 44061004 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable rated FPLR (Riser) and listed for use in fire protective signaling systems. Solid conductor construction provides stable, low-resistance signal paths required in supervised fire alarm circuits. The red jacket color follows standard industry convention for fire alarm wiring, making circuit identification straightforward during installation and inspection. This cable ships on a 1,000-foot reel, supplying enough footage for mid- to large-scale commercial or residential fire alarm riser runs in a single pull.

This cable is suited for riser installations in commercial buildings, multi-story residential structures, and institutional facilities where fire alarm signal circuits must pass vertically between floors. FPLR-rated cable is listed to limit fire spread within the riser, meeting the requirements for riser applications without requiring conduit in many jurisdictions. Licensed fire alarm contractors and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers. The 2-conductor, 16 AWG configuration is commonly used for initiating device circuits (IDC), notification appliance circuits (NAC), and Class B signaling loops.

Key Features

• 16 AWG solid conductor construction for stable resistance and consistent signal integrity
• 2-conductor configuration suits standard fire alarm initiating and notification circuits
• FPLR (Riser) rating limits vertical flame spread between floors per NEC Article 760
• Red jacket provides instant visual identification as fire alarm wiring
• 1,000-foot reel minimizes mid-run splices on longer riser pulls
• OAS (Oxygen-Barrier Shield) construction provides additional protection against conductor oxidation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard supply cable for FPLR-rated fire alarm signal circuit applications in riser installations across residential and commercial fire protective signaling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm contractor or qualified low-voltage electrician in compliance with NEC Article 760 and applicable local fire codes. De-energize all circuits and notify the monitoring station before beginning work on an active fire alarm system. FPLR cable may be installed in risers without conduit where permitted by the authority having jurisdiction, but always verify local code requirements before pulling wire. Avoid sharp bends, staple over-drive, and contact with high-voltage conductors during routing.
