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

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 4511104Y is a 16 AWG, 2-conductor solid FPLP-rated fire alarm cable supplied on a 1000-foot roll with a red and yellow jacket. FPLP designation indicates a plenum-rated construction, meaning the cable meets strict smoke and flame requirements for installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings. It belongs in the unshielded solid fire alarm cable category, making it a standard choice for initiating device circuits and notification appliance circuits in commercial and residential fire detection systems. Licensed fire alarm installers and low-voltage electricians are the primary trades that pull this cable.

This cable is suited for open-area plenum installations where building codes require plenum-rated wiring. Common applications include connecting smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations, and notification appliances to fire alarm control panels. The solid conductor construction supports point-to-point runs where flexibility during repeated flexing is not a requirement. The red and yellow jacket color follows widely recognized fire alarm cable identification conventions, simplifying circuit tracing during inspections and service calls.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets smoke and flame spread requirements for air-handling spaces
• 16 AWG solid conductors provide consistent impedance over long runs
• 2-conductor configuration supports standard initiating and notification circuits
• 1000-foot roll quantity reduces splice points and speeds installation
• Red and yellow jacket follows fire alarm cable color identification conventions
• Unshielded construction keeps termination simple in low-interference environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock plenum fire alarm cable for use in NFPA 72-compliant fire detection and notification systems requiring FPLP-rated wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 72, NFPA 90A, and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and notify the monitoring station before beginning any wiring work. Solid conductors should not be used in applications requiring repeated flexing; use stranded conductor cable for those runs. Minimum bend radius must be maintained to avoid deforming the conductors during pull-through in conduit or open plenum trays.
