Genesis Cable 46061002 16/2 Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 46061002 is a 16 AWG, 2-conductor solid-conductor plenum-rated fire alarm cable (FPLP) supplied on a 1,000-foot roll in yellow jacket. FPLP-rated cables are approved for use in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings without conduit, meeting the stricter smoke and flame requirements that standard FPL cable does not satisfy. This cable is intended for use in fire alarm and life safety signaling circuits and is installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians working to NFPA 72 and NEC Article 760 requirements.

This cable is suited for initiating device circuits (IDC) and signaling line circuits (SLC) in commercial and residential fire alarm systems where plenum routing is required. The solid 16 AWG conductor construction supports longer supervised circuit runs with lower loop resistance compared to smaller-gauge alternatives. Yellow jacket color is a common industry convention for fire alarm wiring and aids in identification during inspection and service.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating allows installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings without conduit
• 16 AWG solid conductors provide low loop resistance for extended circuit runs
• 2-conductor configuration suitable for IDC and SLC fire alarm circuits
• Yellow jacket aids in field identification and code-compliant circuit labeling
• 1,000-foot roll minimizes splicing on large commercial jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum fire alarm cable suitable for 2-conductor initiating device and signaling line circuit applications in NFPA 72-compliant fire alarm systems requiring FPLP-rated wiring.

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 place the system in test mode with the monitoring station notified before pulling new cable. FPLP cable may be routed through plenum spaces without conduit where permitted by the AHJ, but always verify local amendments to the NEC before installation. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during pulls to avoid conductor or jacket damage.
