Genesis Cable 45111001 Fire Alarm Cable 16 Awg 2C Solid Fplp

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45111001 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor solid unshielded fire alarm cable rated FPLP (Fire Power Limited Plenum), supplied on a 1000-foot reel in white jacket. FPLP rating qualifies this cable for installation in plenum air-handling spaces where standard FPL cable is not permitted by code. The solid conductor construction supports reliable point-to-point wiring in initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and signal circuits in fire alarm systems. Licensed fire alarm contractors and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential fire alarm system installations where plenum-rated wiring is required by the authority having jurisdiction. Typical applications include pulling cable through ceiling plenums, HVAC return-air spaces, and other environmental air spaces as defined by NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 760. The 1000-foot reel format is standard for new construction rough-in and larger retrofit projects requiring continuous runs between devices and control panels.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating permits installation in air-handling and plenum ceiling spaces per NEC Article 760
• 16 AWG solid conductors for low-voltage fire alarm signal and power-limited circuits
• 2-conductor configuration for standard initiating and notification circuit wiring
• Unshielded construction suitable for typical fire alarm circuit applications
• White jacket for easy identification and code-compliant labeling in the field
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splice points on long runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum fire alarm cable for use in power-limited fire alarm circuits in commercial and residential installations where FPLP-rated cable is required by the local authority having jurisdiction.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm contractor or qualified low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 760 and the applicable local fire code. De-energize all circuit conductors and notify the monitoring station before making connections to an active fire alarm panel. FPLP cable must not be substituted with non-plenum-rated cable in plenum or environmental air spaces. Follow the fire alarm panel manufacturer wiring guidelines for maximum loop resistance and conductor sizing on initiating and notification circuits.
