Genesis Cable 45075504 Fire Alarm Cable 18AWG 4C Solid Fplp Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45075504 is an 18 AWG, 4-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable with a plenum-rated FPLP jacket. Designed for use in fire detection and signaling systems, this cable carries low-voltage control and initiating circuit signals between devices such as detectors, pull stations, and notification appliances. The solid conductor construction supports reliable long-run performance in commercial and residential fire alarm installations. The red jacket provides immediate visual identification as a fire alarm circuit, which is standard practice in life-safety wiring.

This cable is suited for plenum air-handling spaces where building codes require a low-smoke, flame-retardant jacket. It is commonly installed in commercial office buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, and multi-family residential construction. The FPLP rating satisfies the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72) requirements for plenum-rated fire alarm wiring. Electricians and low-voltage fire alarm technicians pull this cable through ceiling plenums, conduit, and cable trays to wire conventional and addressable fire alarm panels and their connected devices.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating suitable for air-handling spaces without conduit in many jurisdictions
• 18 AWG solid conductors for stable resistance over long circuit runs
• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-wire initiating and signaling circuits
• Red jacket for instant identification as a fire alarm life-safety circuit
• Unshielded construction keeps installation straightforward in standard fire alarm applications

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or certified fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm panel and place the system in test mode before splicing or terminating conductors. Plenum-rated cable must be routed and supported per NEC Article 760 requirements. Do not exceed the maximum circuit resistance or voltage-drop limits specified by the fire alarm control panel manufacturer.
