Genesis Cable 46061004 16/2 Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 46061004 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor solid-core fire alarm cable rated FPLP (Fire Power Limited Plenum). It is designed for use in fire detection and signaling systems where plenum-rated wiring is required by code. The solid conductor construction provides reliable, low-resistance signal transmission. This cable is supplied on a 1000-foot reel in red jacket, making it easy to identify on the job and suitable for larger commercial or residential fire alarm installations. It is typically installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and electrical contractors working to NFPA 72 and local fire code requirements.

This cable is suited for plenum air-handling spaces where National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 760 mandates plenum-rated fire alarm cable. Typical applications include loop wiring between fire alarm control panels, initiating device circuits (IDC), and notification appliance circuits (NAC) in commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and multi-family residential construction. The red jacket provides quick visual identification as fire alarm wiring during rough-in and inspection. The 1000-foot reel quantity supports full-floor or multi-zone runs without mid-run splices.

Key Features

• FPLP (Fire Power Limited Plenum) rating suitable for plenum air-handling spaces per NEC Article 760
• 16 AWG solid conductors for stable, low-resistance signal transmission over long runs
• 2-conductor configuration for standard fire alarm circuit wiring
• Red jacket for fast visual identification as fire alarm wiring
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splices on extended circuit runs
• OAS (Overall Aluminum Shield) construction for signal integrity in electrically noisy environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum fire alarm cable for use in NFPA 72-compliant fire detection and signaling systems requiring 16 AWG 2-conductor FPLP-rated wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified fire alarm technician or licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 72, NEC Article 760, and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and notify the monitoring center before beginning any wiring work. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid running fire alarm cable in the same conduit or raceway as power wiring unless separation requirements are met. Plenum-rated cable must be used in all air-handling ceiling spaces and return air plenums as required by the authority having jurisdiction.
