Genesis Cable 45061004 18/2 Fplp Fire Alarm Cable 1000 Ft Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45061004 is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable with a plenum-rated (FPLP) jacket, supplied on a 1,000-foot reel in red. FPLP-rated cable meets the smoke and flame spread requirements for installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings without the need for conduit in most jurisdictions. This cable is designed for use in addressable and conventional fire alarm signaling circuits and is handled and terminated by licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians.

This cable is suited for commercial and institutional fire alarm system installations where plenum-rated wiring is required by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) or by the building's construction type. Typical applications include initiating device circuits (IDC), signaling line circuits (SLC), and notification appliance circuits (NAC) routed through ceiling plenums, air ducts, and open-air return spaces. The 1,000-foot reel format is appropriate for larger commercial pulls.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets smoke and flame spread requirements for air-handling space installation
• 18 AWG solid conductors for reliable continuity in fire alarm signaling circuits
• 2-conductor configuration suitable for Class B initiating and signaling circuits
• Red jacket color provides visual identification as fire alarm wiring per NFPA 72 conventions
• 1,000-foot reel reduces splicing needs on large commercial runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum fire alarm cable for use in commercial fire alarm systems requiring FPLP-rated 18 AWG 2-conductor wiring. Verify compatibility with your specific panel and circuit requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC Article 760) and NFPA 72. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and notify the monitoring station before beginning any wiring work. FPLP cable may be run exposed in plenum spaces without conduit where permitted by the AHJ, but always confirm local code requirements before proceeding. Do not exceed the panel manufacturer's maximum loop resistance or wiring distance specifications for the circuit being served.
