Genesis Cable 45061006 18/2 Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45061006 is an 18 AWG 2-conductor solid FPLP-rated fire alarm cable supplied on a 1000-foot roll in blue. FPLP designates a plenum-rated jacket, meaning this cable meets the stricter flame and smoke requirements for installation in air-handling spaces such as ceiling plenums and HVAC ducts. It is an unshielded, solid-conductor product intended for use in low-voltage fire alarm and life safety signaling circuits. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers of this cable in both new construction and retrofit projects.

This cable is suited for residential and commercial fire alarm system installations where a plenum-rated, unshielded solid conductor is required by code. Typical applications include initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and signaling line circuits run through air-handling plenums and other environmentally sensitive spaces. The blue jacket aids in circuit identification during installation and inspection.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets flame and smoke requirements for air-handling space installations
• 18 AWG 2-conductor solid construction for fire alarm and life safety signaling circuits
• Unshielded design appropriate for standard initiating and notification circuits
• Blue jacket supports easy visual circuit identification
• 1000-foot roll format reduces handling and minimizes splice points on longer runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum fire alarm cable suitable for use in low-voltage unshielded solid-conductor fire alarm wiring applications where FPLP-rated cable is required by the authority having jurisdiction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow lockout procedures before making any connections to existing circuits. Maintain minimum bend radius requirements for the cable jacket and avoid running low-voltage fire alarm cable in the same conduit or raceway as line-voltage wiring unless permitted by code. Plenum-rated cable must be used any time the routing passes through an air-handling plenum as defined by the authority having jurisdiction.
