Genesis Cable 46131004 16/2 Fplp Fire Alarm Cable Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 46131004 is a 16 AWG, 2-conductor stranded FPLP-rated fire alarm cable supplied on a 1000-foot roll in red. FPLP designates a plenum-rated fire protective signaling cable, meaning the jacket compound meets the stringent smoke and flame requirements needed for installation in air-handling plenum spaces. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility during routing and termination. This cable is intended for use in fire alarm and life safety signaling systems and is installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and electrical contractors working to NFPA 72 and local code requirements.

This cable is well suited for residential and commercial fire alarm panel wiring, initiating device circuits, and notification appliance circuits where a plenum-rated cable is required by the authority having jurisdiction. The red jacket aids in quick visual identification of fire alarm wiring in conduit, cable trays, and open plenum runs, helping inspectors and service technicians distinguish it from low-voltage data or audio wiring in the same spaces.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets smoke and flame requirements for air-handling spaces per NEC Article 760
• 16 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation and termination
• 2-conductor configuration suitable for Class B initiating and notification circuits
• Red jacket for code-compliant visual identification of fire alarm wiring
• 1000-foot roll reduces splice points on longer runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum fire alarm cable for use with standard 16 AWG, 2-conductor FPLP applications in conventional and addressable fire alarm systems where plenum-rated wiring is required by code.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified fire alarm technician or licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 72, NFPA 90A, and the NEC Article 760. De-energize the fire alarm panel and associated circuits before making any connections. Verify that the plenum rating is acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction before routing cable in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bends or kinking that could damage the conductor insulation during pulling.
