Genesis Cable 4506104B 18/2 Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 4506104B is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor solid-conductor FPLP-rated fire alarm cable supplied on a 1000-foot roll in a red and blue color configuration. FPLP designates a plenum-rated jacket, meaning this cable meets the fire-resistance and low-smoke requirements for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit where permitted by code. It is designed for use in addressable and conventional fire alarm signaling systems and is installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors working under NFPA 72 requirements.

This cable is suited for residential and commercial fire alarm system wiring, including initiating device circuits and signaling line circuits in plenum ceiling and raised-floor air-handling environments. The solid-conductor construction provides stable connections at terminal blocks and IDC-style fittings typical in panel and device wiring. The two-conductor red and blue jacket coding supports polarity identification during installation and inspection.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum-rated jacket meets fire-resistance and low-smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• 18 AWG solid conductors for reliable terminal and IDC connections
• 2-conductor configuration with red and blue color identification for polarity tracking
• 1000-foot roll minimizes splices on longer runs
• Unshielded design suitable for standard fire alarm signaling circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation cable for unshielded solid-conductor fire alarm signaling circuits requiring FPLP plenum-rated wiring per NFPA 72 and local AHJ requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm or low-voltage contractor in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow lockout procedures before terminating or splicing conductors. Plenum-rated cable must be used in air-handling spaces as defined by the NEC; verify AHJ approval before substituting jacket ratings. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius and secure runs with fire-alarm-rated cable supports at intervals required by code.
