Genesis Cable 45231004 16/2 Stranded Fplp Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 45231004 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor stranded FPLP-rated fire alarm cable supplied on a 1000-foot roll in red. FPLP designates a plenum-rated jacket, meaning the cable is listed for installation in air-handling spaces where flame spread and smoke generation must meet stricter code requirements. This cable carries current from fire alarm control panels to initiating devices and notification appliances in life-safety systems. It is specified and installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians on commercial and residential projects subject to NFPA 72 requirements.

This cable is suited for unshielded fire alarm wiring applications in plenum ceiling spaces, raised-floor environments, and other air-handling return plenums. The 1000-foot roll format is well matched to new construction rough-in work and larger renovation projects where longer continuous runs are required. The red jacket color is the industry-standard identifier for fire alarm wiring, supporting visual inspection and code compliance during rough-in and final inspection.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum-rated jacket meets stricter flame-spread and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• 16 AWG 2-conductor stranded construction for flexible routing in tight conduit and cable trays
• 1000-foot roll minimizes splices on long runs and reduces labor time
• Red jacket provides instant visual identification as fire alarm circuit wiring
• Unshielded design appropriate for standard fire alarm signaling circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-specification cable for unshielded fire alarm signaling circuits requiring FPLP plenum-rated 16 AWG 2-conductor stranded cable per NFPA 72 and NEC Article 760.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and NEC Article 760. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow the panel manufacturer lockout procedure before making any wiring connections. Verify that the plenum rating is required by the authority having jurisdiction before substituting a non-plenum cable type. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius during pull-through to avoid damaging conductor stranding.
