Genesis Cable 45111006 16/2 Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45111006 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable with a plenum-rated (FPLP) jacket, supplied on a 1000-foot spool in blue. FPLP-rated cable is required by the National Electrical Code in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings where low-smoke, flame-retardant performance is mandatory. This cable is designed for use in addressable and conventional fire alarm signaling systems, connecting initiating devices, notification appliances, and control panels. Fire alarm installation contractors and licensed low-voltage technicians are the primary installers.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential fire alarm installations wherever the raceway or cable pathway passes through a plenum air-handling space. The solid conductor construction supports reliable point-to-point wiring in structured fire alarm loops. The blue jacket aids circuit identification on job sites and in panels where multiple cable types are present. It is appropriate for use in new construction and retrofit projects where local authorities having jurisdiction require plenum-rated wiring materials.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets NEC requirements for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit
• 16 AWG solid 2-conductor construction for fire alarm signaling circuits
• 1000-foot spool quantity reduces splice points and supports long circuit runs
• Blue jacket color supports circuit identification and code-compliant labeling practices
• Unshielded design appropriate for standard fire alarm initiating and notification circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wiring solution for unshielded solid-conductor fire alarm signaling circuits in plenum-rated installations per NEC Article 760.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm or low-voltage contractor in accordance with NEC Article 760 and applicable local fire codes. De-energize and lock out the fire alarm control panel before making any wiring connections. FPLP cable may be run exposed in plenum spaces without conduit where permitted by the authority having jurisdiction, but always verify local requirements before installation. Avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius to preserve conductor integrity throughout the run.
