Genesis Cable 46021104 18/2 Solid Fplp Shielded Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 46021104 is an 18 AWG 2-conductor solid bare copper fire alarm cable rated FPLP (Fire Power Limited Plenum), packaged in a 1,000-foot box in red. FPLP-rated cable is listed for use in plenum air-handling spaces where strict smoke and flame propagation limits apply under the National Electrical Code. The solid conductor construction supports reliable low-current signal transmission in fire detection and notification circuits. Licensed electricians and fire alarm technicians install this cable in commercial and institutional buildings where plenum routing is required.

This cable is suited for fire alarm signaling circuits, initiating device circuits, and notification appliance circuits in plenum-rated applications. The red jacket provides standard industry color identification for fire alarm wiring. It is commonly pulled through dropped ceiling plenum spaces, above-ceiling air returns, and other environmental air spaces in commercial construction and renovation projects where non-plenum cable is not permitted by code.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets NEC Article 760 requirements for air-handling spaces
• 18 AWG solid bare copper conductors for fire alarm signaling circuits
• 2-conductor configuration with shielded design for noise resistance
• Red jacket for standard fire alarm cable identification
• 1,000-foot box quantity suitable for commercial installation projects

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fire alarm cable for FPLP-rated plenum fire detection and notification circuit applications in commercial and institutional installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or certified fire alarm technician in accordance with NEC Article 760 and local authority having jurisdiction requirements. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and associated circuits before making any connections. FPLP cable must be installed only in approved plenum or plenum-equivalent spaces — do not substitute for riser or general-purpose cable ratings in non-plenum applications. Follow the fire alarm system manufacturer wiring diagrams for correct circuit termination.
