Genesis Cable 45111008 16/2 Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45111008 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor solid FPLP-rated fire alarm cable supplied on a 1,000-foot roll in black jacket. FPLP designates a plenum-rated cable, meaning it meets the stringent smoke and flame requirements for installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings without conduit in most jurisdictions. Solid conductors are standard for low-current fire alarm signaling circuits where consistent resistance and reliable splicing at device terminals matter most. This cable is sold as a single 1,000-foot roll, making it appropriate for new construction rough-in and large retrofit fire alarm projects.

This cable is used in commercial and residential fire alarm system installations, including initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and signaling line circuits where plenum-rated wiring is required by the authority having jurisdiction. Typical applications include office buildings, hotels, schools, and healthcare facilities where NFPA 72 and local fire codes mandate plenum cable in environmental air spaces. Electricians and low-voltage fire alarm contractors are the primary installers.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets NFPA 262 requirements for use in air-handling spaces without conduit
• 16 AWG solid conductors provide stable resistance for long fire alarm circuit runs
• 2-conductor configuration suits standard initiating and notification circuit wiring
• Black jacket for identification and compliance with common fire alarm color conventions
• 1,000-foot roll minimizes splices and supports large-scale installation pulls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum fire alarm cable suitable for use with conventional and addressable fire alarm control panels requiring FPLP-rated 16 AWG 2-conductor solid wiring on signaling circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or certified fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72, NFPA 90A, and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow the panel manufacturer lockout procedure before terminating conductors. In plenum spaces, verify the cable is routed and supported per NEC Article 760 requirements and that no conduit fill limits are exceeded where conduit is used. Do not over-bend or kink the cable during pull, as damage to solid conductors can affect circuit integrity.
