Genesis Cable 45111002 Fire Alarm Cable 16AWG 2C Solid Fplp 1000ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45111002 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable rated FPLP (Fire Power Limited Plenum). Designed for use in plenum air-handling spaces where fire codes require low-smoke, flame-retardant wiring, this cable meets the strict requirements of NFPA 72 and NEC Article 760. The solid conductor construction and plenum-rated jacket make it a standard choice for fire alarm and signaling circuits in commercial and institutional buildings. It is supplied on a 1,000-foot roll in yellow jacket, the conventional color designation for fire alarm wiring.

This cable is used in fire alarm, detection, and notification circuits installed in plenum ceilings and other air-handling spaces where standard riser or general-purpose cable is not code-compliant. It is appropriate for initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and signaling line circuits in commercial, industrial, and multi-story residential fire alarm systems. Electrical contractors and licensed fire alarm system technicians are the primary installers of this product.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating permits installation in air-handling ceiling and plenum spaces per NEC Article 760
• 16 AWG solid conductors provide consistent resistance values across long circuit runs
• 2-conductor configuration suits standard initiating and signaling circuit wiring
• Yellow jacket color follows industry convention for fire alarm cable identification
• 1,000-foot roll reduces splice points on large commercial installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum fire alarm cable for use in commercial and residential fire alarm signaling circuits requiring FPLP-rated wiring per NEC Article 760 and NFPA 72.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or certified fire alarm technician in accordance with NEC Article 760 and the local authority having jurisdiction. De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage before making or breaking any connections. FPLP cable must be routed and supported per manufacturer and code requirements; do not substitute riser-rated or general-purpose cable in plenum spaces. Follow NFPA 72 requirements for minimum bend radius, circuit supervision, and end-of-line resistor placement.
