Genesis Cable 45061101 18/2 Solid Fplp Plenum Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45061101 is an 18 AWG 2-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable with a plenum-rated FPLP jacket. Sold in a 1000-foot pull box, this cable is designed for use in fire detection and alarm signaling circuits where the routing passes through air-handling plenum spaces. The solid conductor construction maintains low resistance over long runs, and the FPLP rating satisfies the National Electrical Code requirements for plenum environments without requiring conduit in most jurisdictions. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential fire alarm system installations where plenum-rated wiring is required by code. Typical applications include connecting initiating devices, notification appliances, and control panel circuits routed through suspended ceiling plenums or raised-floor air-return spaces. The white jacket aids in identification and is common in commercial office, healthcare, and institutional environments. The 1000-foot box format is standard for rough-in installations requiring continuous, uninterrupted runs.

Key Features

• 18 AWG solid conductors for reliable signal transmission over extended runs
• 2-conductor configuration for standard fire alarm initiating and notification circuits
• FPLP plenum jacket rating satisfies NEC Article 760 plenum installation requirements
• 1000-foot pull box reduces handling and waste on large installations
• White jacket for easy visual identification in mixed-wire environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock solution for 18 AWG 2-conductor solid plenum fire alarm cable applications. Compatible with any fire alarm control panel or device requiring FPLP-rated field wiring per NEC Article 760.

Installation Notes

Installation must 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 associated circuits before making any connections. Avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius to prevent conductor damage. Do not splice in plenum spaces unless listed splice enclosures are used per code requirements.
