Genesis Cable 45071104 18/4 Solid Fplp Plenum Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45071104 is an 18 AWG 4-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable with a plenum-rated FPLP jacket, supplied in a 1000-foot box in red. FPLP designation indicates a plenum-grade fire protective signaling cable approved for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit, meeting the higher smoke and flame requirements of the National Electrical Code for plenum environments. The solid conductor construction maintains consistent resistance over long runs and is standard for low-voltage fire alarm signaling circuits. Licensed fire alarm installers and electricians pull this cable during new construction and renovation projects where plenum-rated wiring is required by code.

This cable is used in commercial and residential fire alarm systems where signal wire must run through ceiling plenum spaces, HVAC air ducts, or other environmental air-handling areas. The red jacket color is the industry-standard visual identifier for fire alarm wiring, aiding inspection and compliance verification. It is suitable for initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and other supervised low-voltage signaling runs within addressable and conventional fire alarm panel systems.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating allows installation in air-handling spaces without conduit under NEC Article 760
• 18 AWG solid conductors for reliable low-voltage fire alarm signaling
• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-wire initiating and notification circuits
• Red jacket provides immediate visual identification as fire alarm cable
• 1000-foot box quantity suits full-run commercial and multi-zone residential installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fire alarm signal cable compatible with conventional and addressable fire alarm panel systems requiring FPLP-rated 18 AWG 4-conductor plenum wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and NEC Article 760. De-energize the fire alarm panel and associated circuits before splicing or terminating cable runs. FPLP-rated cable must remain in plenum-rated pathways for the full run length to maintain code compliance. Avoid sharp bends, staple penetrations through the jacket, and contact with high-voltage wiring.
