Genesis Cable 45121001 16/4 Solid Fplp Plenum Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45121001 is a 16 AWG 4-conductor solid unshielded fire alarm cable rated FPLP for plenum-space installation. FPLP designation indicates a plenum-rated fire protective signaling cable, suitable for use in air-handling spaces where low-smoke and flame-spread characteristics are required by code. This cable is used to interconnect fire alarm initiating devices, notification appliances, and control panels in commercial and residential fire alarm systems. Licensed fire alarm installers and low-voltage electricians are the primary tradespeople who work with this product.

This cable is designed for unshielded solid-conductor fire alarm wiring applications. It is commonly installed in plenum ceilings, raised-floor air-return spaces, and other environmental air spaces where standard non-plenum cable is not code-compliant. The 16 AWG solid conductor construction supports conventional and addressable fire alarm circuits over long runs. It ships in a 1000-foot quantity per unit.

Key Features

• 16 AWG solid conductor construction for stable, low-resistance fire alarm circuits
• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or Class A wiring topologies
• FPLP plenum rating meets requirements for installation in air-handling spaces
• Unshielded design suitable for standard fire protective signaling applications
• White jacket for easy identification in fire alarm wiring systems
• 1000-foot put-up reduces splice points on longer runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum fire alarm cable for use with conventional and addressable fire alarm control panels requiring 16 AWG 4-conductor FPLP-rated wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72, NFPA 70 (NEC Article 760), and all applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow lockout procedures before making any connections. FPLP cable is specifically required in plenum spaces and must not be substituted with non-plenum-rated cable in those environments. Always verify the installed cable type matches the listing on the as-built drawings submitted to the authority having jurisdiction.
