Genesis Cable 46061006 16/2 Solid Oas Fplp Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 46061006 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor solid fire alarm cable rated FPLP (Fire Power Limited Plenum) with an OAS (Oxygen Absorbing Shield) construction and blue jacket, supplied on a 1000-foot reel. Designed for fire detection and alarm signaling systems, this plenum-rated cable meets the stringent smoke and flame requirements for installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians install this cable as part of initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and signaling line circuits in commercial and residential fire alarm systems.

This cable is suited for use in plenum air-handling spaces where low-smoke, low-flame-spread materials are required by fire code. The solid 16 AWG conductors provide reliable signal integrity over longer runs typical in commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and other structures requiring code-compliant fire alarm wiring. The blue jacket color aids in circuit identification during installation and future service work.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating allows installation in air-handling and plenum ceiling spaces per NFPA 72 and NEC Article 760
• OAS (Oxygen Absorbing Shield) construction provides shielding against electromagnetic interference on alarm circuits
• Solid 16 AWG conductors support longer circuit runs with consistent resistance characteristics
• Blue jacket aids in visual circuit identification and code-required color coding practices
• 1000-foot reel quantity reduces splice points on large commercial installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation cable for 2-conductor fire alarm signaling circuits requiring plenum-rated, shielded cable in compliance with NFPA 72 and NEC Article 760 requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72, NEC Article 760, and all applicable local fire codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow the panel manufacturer lockout procedures before making any wiring connections. Plenum-rated cable must be routed only in permitted plenum and air-handling spaces as defined by the authority having jurisdiction. Do not kink, crush, or bend the cable beyond its minimum bend radius, as this can damage the OAS shield and degrade signal performance.
