Genesis Cable 45061104 18/2 Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45061104 is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable with a plenum-rated (FPLP) jacket in red. Rated for plenum air-handling spaces, this cable meets the stricter smoke and flame spread requirements required by code when routing through ceilings, raised floors, and HVAC ducts. It is sold as a single 1,000-foot box, making it a standard pull for fire alarm system installers working on initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and control panel wiring in commercial and residential applications.

This cable is used in fire alarm and life-safety system installations where plenum-rated wiring is required by the local authority having jurisdiction. The solid conductor construction is suited for panel terminations and device connections in low-voltage fire alarm circuits. The red jacket provides quick visual identification as fire alarm wiring, as required by NFPA 72 and many local codes. Typical applications include connecting smoke detectors, pull stations, horn-strobes, and control modules back to a fire alarm control panel.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets the low smoke and flame spread requirements for air-handling spaces
• 18 AWG solid conductor construction for reliable low-voltage fire alarm circuit terminations
• 2-conductor configuration suitable for Class B initiating and notification circuits
• Red jacket for immediate visual identification as fire alarm system wiring
• 1,000-foot box quantity for full-run commercial pulls

Compatibility

Designed as an FPLP-rated, unshielded solid fire alarm cable for use in plenum-rated fire alarm and life-safety system installations per NFPA 72 and applicable local codes.

Installation Notes

Installation of fire alarm cable should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage contractor in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC Article 760) and NFPA 72. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow the panel manufacturer's lockout procedure before making terminations. Solid conductors require appropriate terminals or screw-type connection points rated for solid wire; do not use wire nuts designed only for stranded conductors in panel applications. Verify plenum rating requirements with the local authority having jurisdiction before pulling cable in any air-handling space.
