Genesis Cable 46101004 12/2 Solid Fplp Fire Alarm Cable Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 46101004 is a 12 AWG, 2-conductor solid fire alarm cable rated FPLP (Fire Power Limited Plenum), supplied on a 1000-foot reel in red jacket. FPLP-rated cable is listed for use in plenum air-handling spaces where low-smoke, flame-retardant properties are required by code. The solid conductor construction supports reliable point-to-point fire alarm wiring in fixed installations. This cable is installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and electricians working on life-safety systems in commercial and institutional buildings.

This cable is suited for plenum-rated fire alarm and signaling circuits in commercial construction where the National Electrical Code requires plenum-listed cable in air-handling ceiling spaces and HVAC return-air plenums. The red jacket color follows standard industry convention for fire alarm wiring, aiding identification during inspection and service. The 1000-foot reel quantity is appropriate for new construction runs and large retrofit projects.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets NEC requirements for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit
• 12 AWG solid conductors provide low-resistance signal paths for fire alarm circuits
• 2-conductor configuration for standard initiating or signaling circuit wiring
• Red jacket finish follows fire alarm industry color convention for easy circuit identification
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splice points on long runs
• Shielded construction helps reject electromagnetic interference in commercial environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum fire alarm cable suitable for use with conventional and addressable fire alarm control panels requiring FPLP-rated 12 AWG 2-conductor solid wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and the applicable edition of the NEC (Article 760). De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow the panel manufacturer lockout procedure before connecting or extending any circuit wiring. FPLP cable may be installed exposed in plenum spaces without conduit where permitted by the authority having jurisdiction, but verify local amendments before proceeding. Do not exceed the bend radius or pulling tension ratings of the cable during installation.
