Genesis Cable 44411004 18/2 Shielded Midcap Fplr Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 44411004 is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor shielded midcap fire alarm cable rated FPLR (Fire Power Limited Riser). It is designed for use in fire alarm and life-safety signaling systems where a riser-rated, shielded cable is required to protect signal integrity from electromagnetic interference. The solid conductor construction and foil shield make it well suited for initiating device circuits and notification appliance circuits in commercial and residential fire alarm installations. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is used in fire alarm systems installed in multi-story buildings where riser-rated wiring is required by code. The FPLR rating allows vertical runs between floors without requiring conduit in many jurisdictions. The shielded midcap configuration is appropriate for environments where signal-line noise from adjacent electrical runs could affect system performance. It is sold per unit as indicated by the unit of measure designation.

Key Features

• 18 AWG solid conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• 2-conductor configuration for standard initiating and notification circuits
• Foil shield reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference on the signal line
• FPLR rating permits riser installation between floors per applicable fire and building codes
• Midcap jacket profile for easier routing through conduit and cable trays

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fire alarm cable for FPLR-rated riser applications in commercial and residential fire alarm signaling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 72, NEC Article 760, and all applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and associated circuits before making any wiring connections. Verify that the FPLR riser rating is acceptable to the local authority having jurisdiction before running cable in vertical shaft or riser applications. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius during routing to avoid compromising the foil shield.
