Genesis Cable 4511104B 16/2 Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 4511104B is a 16 AWG 2-conductor solid FPLP-rated fire alarm cable supplied on a 1000-foot reel. FPLP designates a plenum-rated jacket, meaning this cable meets the stricter flame and smoke requirements for installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings without conduit where codes permit. The red jacket with black stripe coloring follows standard fire alarm wiring convention, making circuit identification straightforward during installation and future service. This cable is designed for licensed fire alarm technicians and electricians installing initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and signaling line circuits in commercial and residential fire detection systems.

This cable is suited for use in plenum-rated installations where building codes require low smoke and flame-spread characteristics. Common applications include office buildings, schools, hospitals, and multi-family residential construction. The solid 16 AWG conductors support reliable signal transmission across the initiating and notification circuits typical of conventional and addressable fire alarm systems. The 1000-foot reel format reduces waste and speeds layout on larger commercial jobs.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets strict flame and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• Solid 16 AWG conductors for consistent signal integrity on fire alarm circuits
• Red jacket with black stripe for standard fire alarm circuit identification
• 1000-foot reel packaging suits large commercial installations
• 2-conductor configuration for initiating device and notification appliance circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation cable for unshielded solid-conductor fire alarm wiring applications in FPLP-rated plenum environments.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local fire codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow lockout procedures before splicing or connecting conductors. Plenum-rated cable must be routed through plenum air-handling spaces only where permitted by the authority having jurisdiction. Avoid sharp bends and mechanical damage to the jacket during pull installation.
