Genesis Cable 45115504 16/2 Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45115504 is a 16 AWG, 2-conductor solid-conductor fire alarm cable with a plenum-rated FPLP jacket in red. Built for use in life-safety signaling circuits, this cable is designed to maintain circuit integrity in the event of a fire. The FPLP (Fire Power Limited Plenum) rating allows installation in air-handling plenum spaces where standard FPL or FPLR cables are not permitted. It ships in a 500-foot box for efficient pull-and-cut installation on commercial and residential fire alarm projects. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers.

This cable is suited for use in fire alarm notification and signaling circuits in both commercial and residential construction. The plenum rating makes it appropriate for drop ceilings and open-air return plenums where building codes require low-smoke, low-flame-spread wiring. The solid conductor construction supports reliable contact in screw-terminal and IDC connections common to fire alarm control panels and field devices. Its red jacket color follows standard industry practice for fire alarm wiring identification on the job site.

Key Features

• 16 AWG solid conductor construction for reliable terminal connections
• FPLP plenum rating permits installation in air-handling spaces per NEC Article 760
• Unshielded design suited for standard fire alarm signaling circuits
• Red jacket color follows fire alarm industry identification conventions
• 500-foot box packaging supports efficient field pulls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-supply cable for 2-conductor, 16 AWG fire alarm signaling and notification circuits in plenum-rated installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must comply with NEC Article 760 governing fire alarm system wiring and any applicable local amendments. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and notify the monitoring center before making connections. Solid conductors require careful handling to avoid nicking during stripping, which can weaken the conductor at the termination point. Work should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage electrician in accordance with local licensing requirements.
