Genesis Cable 45071008 18 Awg 4C Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45071008 is an 18 AWG, 4-conductor solid FPLP-rated fire alarm cable designed for use in plenum air-handling spaces and fire protective signaling systems. FPLP designates a plenum-rated jacket that meets strict flame and smoke requirements for installation in air ducts, raised floors, and open ceiling plenum areas. Sold in a 1,000-foot box, this unshielded solid cable is a standard choice for licensed fire alarm installers wiring initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and control panel interconnects in commercial and residential applications.

This cable is suited for low-voltage fire alarm and life safety system wiring where a plenum listing is required by code. Typical installations include office buildings, schools, hospitals, and multi-family residential structures where cables are routed through HVAC plenum spaces. The 4-conductor configuration supports a range of panel-to-device wiring layouts, including dual-circuit runs. The black jacket aids identification in conduit and open plenum runs.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets NFPA 70 Article 760 requirements for plenum air-handling spaces
• 18 AWG solid conductors provide stable resistance for long fire alarm circuit runs
• 4-conductor configuration supports multiple circuit or device wiring arrangements
• Unshielded construction simplifies termination at panels and devices
• 1,000-foot box packaging reduces field waste and simplifies job-site inventory
• Black jacket for easy visual identification and routing traceability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fire alarm cable for use with conventional and addressable fire alarm control panels requiring FPLP-rated 18 AWG 4-conductor wiring in plenum-rated installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and NFPA 70 Article 760. Power down and lock out the fire alarm control panel before making any circuit connections. Minimum bend radius and fill requirements per the AHJ and NEC should be observed when routing through conduit or open plenum. Do not splice conductors mid-run without approved supervised connections.
