Genesis Cable 45071101 18/4 Fplp Fire Alarm Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45071101 is an 18 AWG, 4-conductor solid FPLP-rated fire alarm cable supplied in a 1000-foot box in white jacket. FPLP (Fire Alarm Cable, Plenum-Rated) designation means this cable meets the stringent smoke and flame requirements for installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings without the need for conduit in most jurisdictions. The solid conductor construction maintains consistent resistance over long runs, making it a standard choice for initiating circuits, notification appliance circuits, and low-voltage control wiring in fire alarm systems.

This cable is used in commercial and residential fire alarm installations where plenum-rated wiring is required by the authority having jurisdiction. Typical applications include connecting detectors, pull stations, and notification devices to fire alarm control panels in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-family residential structures. The white jacket aids in identification in ceiling spaces where cable segregation by color is part of the installation standard.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets strict flame and smoke propagation requirements for air-handling spaces
• 18 AWG solid conductors provide stable resistance on long circuit runs
• 4-conductor configuration supports a wide range of initiating and notification circuit layouts
• White jacket for easy identification and code-compliant cable segregation
• 1000-foot box format reduces handling time and waste on large jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard FPLP-rated replacement or new-installation fire alarm cable compatible with low-voltage fire alarm control panels and devices requiring 18 AWG 4-conductor plenum-rated wiring per NFPA 72 guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or electrician in accordance with NFPA 72, NFPA 90A, and all applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow lockout/tagout procedures before making any wiring connections. Plenum-rated cable must be installed in plenum or air-handling spaces as classified by the AHJ; confirm space classification before pulling wire. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during pulls to avoid conductor damage.
