Genesis Cable 44065504 16/2 Solid Fplr Fire Alarm Cable Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 44065504 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor solid bare copper FPLR-rated fire alarm cable designed for riser applications in fire detection and life safety systems. FPLR (Fire Protective Limited circuit Riser) rating makes this cable suitable for vertical runs between floors in non-plenum environments. The solid conductor construction maintains reliable circuit continuity across long runs, and the red jacket provides immediate visual identification as fire alarm wiring. This cable is installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians working on commercial and residential life safety systems.

This cable is intended for use in 2-wire initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and signaling line circuits within fire alarm control panel installations. Typical applications include connecting smoke detectors, pull stations, horn-strobes, and other fire alarm peripheral devices to a central control panel. The red outer jacket meets common code requirements for fire alarm circuit identification and aids in inspection and troubleshooting.

Key Features

• FPLR rating approved for riser use in vertical shaft and floor-to-floor runs
• 16 AWG solid conductor construction for stable resistance over extended runs
• 2-conductor configuration suited to standard initiating and notification circuits
• Red PVC jacket provides code-compliant visual identification for fire alarm wiring
• Sold in box quantity for jobsite efficiency on larger installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation cable for residential and commercial fire alarm systems requiring FPLR-rated 16 AWG 2-conductor solid wiring in riser environments.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified fire alarm technician or licensed low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and all applicable local codes. Ensure the fire alarm control panel is powered down and the system is placed in test mode before making any wiring connections. Route cable away from high-voltage conductors and secure at intervals required by the authority having jurisdiction. Do not exceed the cable's rated bend radius or subject it to tension pulls beyond manufacturer limits during installation.
