Genesis Cable 46121004 14/2 Fplp Fire Alarm Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 46121004 is a 14 AWG 2-conductor stranded FPLP-rated fire alarm cable supplied on a 1000-foot reel in red jacket. FPLP designates plenum-rated construction, meaning the cable meets the low-smoke, low-flame-spread requirements for installation in air-handling spaces such as dropped ceilings and raised floors used as return-air plenums. This cable is used in initiating and signaling circuits for fire alarm and life-safety systems. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers. The red jacket provides instant visual identification as fire protection wiring on the job site.

This cable is suited for residential and commercial fire alarm installations where plenum-rated wiring is required by the Authority Having Jurisdiction or the building's mechanical design. Typical applications include notification appliance circuits, initiating device circuits, and control wiring between fire alarm control panels and field devices in air-handling plenum environments. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during pull and termination compared to solid conductors, making it easier to handle in conduit and raceway runs.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets low-smoke and low-flame-spread requirements for air-handling spaces
• 14 AWG 2-conductor stranded construction for flexible routing and termination
• Red jacket provides code-required visual identification for fire alarm wiring
• 1000-foot reel minimizes mid-run splices on larger commercial installations
• OAS (Optical Anti-Short) shielded construction helps protect signal integrity in fire shielded category

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated fire alarm cable for use in NFPA 72-compliant fire alarm and life-safety systems where FPLP wiring is required by local code or the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 72, NFPA 90A, and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits before making connections to the fire alarm control panel or field devices. In plenum spaces, do not substitute non-plenum cable even temporarily, as this violates fire and mechanical codes. Verify minimum bend radius and fill capacity requirements when routing through conduit or cable trays.
