Genesis Cable 46061104 16/2 Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 46061104 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor solid-conductor FPLP-rated fire alarm cable supplied in a 1000-foot box and finished in red jacketing for fast visual identification. FPLP designates a plenum-rated fire alarm cable, meaning the jacket compound meets the stricter smoke and flame requirements for installation in air-handling plenum spaces as defined by NFPA 72 and NEC Article 760. Solid conductors at 16 AWG provide reliable, low-resistance signal paths for initiating and notification circuits in commercial and residential fire alarm systems. Licensed fire alarm technicians and licensed electricians performing fire alarm work are the primary installers of this cable.

This cable is suited for use in plenum ceilings, raised-floor air-return spaces, and other environmental air-handling areas where standard PVC-jacketed cable is not permitted by code. It is commonly pulled for 2-wire zone initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and auxiliary control wiring in conventional and addressable fire alarm systems. The red jacket color conforms to the widely followed convention for fire alarm wiring, making it easier to distinguish during inspection and future service work.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets NEC Article 760 requirements for air-handling space installations
• 16 AWG solid conductors for low-resistance signal and control circuits
• 2-conductor configuration suitable for Class B initiating and notification circuits
• Red jacket provides instant visual identification as fire alarm wiring
• 1000-foot box quantity reduces on-site reel handling and splice points on larger pulls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum fire alarm cable for use with conventional and addressable fire alarm control panels and field devices requiring 16 AWG 2-conductor FPLP-rated wiring per NFPA 72 and NEC Article 760.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or licensed fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72, NFPA 90A, and the applicable edition of the NEC. De-energize all circuits at the fire alarm control panel before making terminations. FPLP cable must be routed and supported per NEC Article 760 plenum wiring methods and must not be intermixed with power-limited and non-power-limited circuits in the same raceway without proper separation. Verify that all termination points and pull boxes remain accessible after installation as required by the AHJ.
