Genesis Cable 46031004 18/4 Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 46031004 is an 18 AWG, 4-conductor solid shielded fire alarm cable rated FPLP (Fire Power Limited Plenum), supplied on a 1000-foot reel in red jacket. FPLP-rated cable is listed for use in plenum air-handling spaces where low smoke and flame spread characteristics are required by code. The solid conductor construction supports reliable signal transmission in addressable and conventional fire alarm circuits. This cable is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage electricians and fire alarm system technicians working to NFPA 72 and local authority having jurisdiction requirements.

This cable is designed for fire alarm and life safety signaling applications in commercial and light industrial buildings. It is suited for wiring initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and signaling line circuits where plenum-rated cable is mandated by the International Building Code or local fire code. The red jacket provides immediate visual identification as fire alarm wiring during inspection and service.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets NEC Article 760 requirements for air-handling spaces
• 18 AWG solid conductors for stable resistance and reliable signal integrity
• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or multi-function fire alarm circuits
• Overall shield provides noise rejection in electrically noisy environments
• Red jacket for code-compliant visual identification of fire alarm wiring
• 1000-foot reel length reduces splices and speeds rough-in on larger jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an FPLP-rated plenum fire alarm cable suitable for use with addressable and conventional fire alarm control panels that accept 18 AWG solid conductor wiring on initiating, signaling, or notification circuits.

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 all connected fire alarm circuits before terminating or splicing conductors. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid running cable parallel to high-voltage power conductors without appropriate separation per NEC requirements. Plenum-rated cable must be used in any return-air plenum space as determined by the authority having jurisdiction.
