Genesis Cable 45121004 16/4 Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45121004 is a 16 AWG, 4-conductor solid unshielded fire alarm cable with a plenum-rated FPLP jacket. Designed for use in fire protective signaling systems, this cable meets the requirements for installation in air-handling spaces where plenum-rated wiring is required by code. It ships as a 1,000-foot reel in red jacket for easy identification during rough-in and inspection. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers. The solid conductor construction supports reliable continuity in fixed-run, point-to-point signaling circuits.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential fire alarm system wiring where NFPA 72 and local codes require plenum-rated conductors. Typical applications include initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and signaling line circuits routed through ceiling plenums, air ducts, and other environmental air spaces. The 16 AWG gauge supports longer supervised circuit runs common in mid-size and large commercial installations. The unshielded construction keeps installation straightforward in standard fire alarm panel architectures.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets code requirements for installation in air-handling spaces
• 16 AWG solid conductors provide consistent resistance characteristics for supervised circuit calculations
• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or dual-circuit runs in a single cable pathway
• Red jacket provides visual identification as required by NFPA 72 for fire alarm wiring
• 1,000-foot reel reduces splice points on long runs and simplifies job-site inventory
• Unshielded design simplifies termination at fire alarm control panels and field devices

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fire alarm signaling cable for use in plenum-rated fire protective signaling system installations per NFPA 72 and NEC Article 760.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 72, NEC Article 760, and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow the panel manufacturer's lockout procedure before making any circuit connections. FPLP-rated cable must be installed in all air-handling plenum spaces where non-plenum cable is prohibited. Avoid sharp bends, staple damage through the jacket, or bundling practices that could compromise conductor integrity or insulation rating.
