Genesis Cable 44081004 14/2 Solid Fplr Fire Alarm Cable Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 44081004 is a 14 AWG 2-conductor solid shielded fire alarm cable rated FPLR (Fire Power Limited Riser) and sold in a 1000-foot reel in red jacketing. Designed for use in riser applications within commercial and residential fire alarm systems, this cable carries signal and power between initiating devices, control panels, and notification appliances. The solid conductor construction supports reliable, low-resistance connections in fixed-run installations. Its FPLR rating qualifies it for vertical runs in riser shafts as defined by NEC Article 760.

This cable is intended for licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians installing supervised fire alarm circuits. Typical applications include connecting smoke detectors, pull stations, horn-strobes, and control panels in multi-story commercial buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities. The red jacket provides immediate visual identification as fire alarm wiring, helping installers and inspectors confirm correct cable routing during rough-in and final inspection.

Key Features

• 14 AWG solid conductor construction for fixed fire alarm circuit runs
• 2-conductor configuration suitable for Class B initiating and signaling circuits
• FPLR rating qualifies cable for use in riser shafts per NEC Article 760
• Shielded design helps reduce electromagnetic interference on signal circuits
• Red jacket provides standard visual identification for fire alarm wiring
• 1000-foot reel reduces splicing on large commercial installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation cable for FPLR-rated fire alarm wiring applications in commercial and residential riser installations where NEC Article 760 compliance is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NEC Article 760 and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow lockout-tagout procedures before making any connections. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid stapling through the cable jacket, which can compromise the shield integrity. Verify riser pathway compliance with the local authority having jurisdiction before pulling cable through vertical shafts.
