Genesis Cable 46091004 14AWG 4C Shielded Fplp Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 46091004 is a 14 AWG, 4-conductor shielded solid fire alarm cable rated FPLP (Fire Power Limited Plenum), supplied on a 1000-foot reel in red. FPLP-rated cable is designed for plenum air-handling spaces where fire and smoke propagation must be restricted per NFPA 72 and NEC Article 760. The solid conductor construction and overall shield make it suitable for low-voltage fire detection and notification wiring in commercial and residential systems. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is used in fire alarm system installations where plenum-rated wiring is required by the authority having jurisdiction. Typical applications include initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and signaling line circuits routed through ceiling plenum spaces, HVAC return-air plenums, and other air-handling areas. The red jacket color follows common fire alarm cable convention, aiding visual identification during inspection and service.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets NEC Article 760 requirements for air-handling spaces
• 14 AWG solid conductors for reliable low-voltage fire alarm signaling
• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-circuit or multi-zone fire alarm wiring
• Overall shield reduces electromagnetic interference in sensitive detection circuits
• Red jacket color provides quick visual identification as fire alarm cable
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splices on larger commercial jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum fire alarm cable for use with standard 14 AWG compatible fire alarm control panels, initiating devices, and notification appliances in commercial and residential fire detection systems.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or certified fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72, NFPA 90A, and NEC Article 760. De-energize and lock out the fire alarm control panel before making any wiring connections. Plenum-rated cable must be used wherever cable runs through air-handling spaces; substituting a non-plenum jacket in these areas is a code violation. Verify shield termination requirements with the control panel manufacturer before installation.
