Genesis Cable 46141004 18/2 Fplp Fire Alarm Cable 1000 Ft Red

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 46141004 is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor stranded fire alarm cable rated FPLP (Fire Power Limited Plenum). It is designed for use in plenum air-handling spaces where building and fire codes require plenum-rated wiring. The cable ships on a 1,000-foot reel in red jacketing, allowing easy identification on the job site. FPLP-rated cable meets the low-smoke, low-flame-spread requirements mandated by the National Electrical Code for plenum installations. Electricians and fire alarm system installers rely on this cable for initiating circuits, notification appliance circuits, and signaling line circuits in commercial and residential fire alarm systems.

This cable is suited for fire alarm and life-safety system wiring in plenum ceilings, air ducts, and other environmental air spaces. It is commonly pulled in commercial office buildings, schools, hospitals, and multi-family residential construction where plenum-rated conductors are required by the authority having jurisdiction. The red jacket color is the industry standard for fire alarm wiring, aiding in circuit identification during inspection and service calls.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation
• 2-conductor configuration for standard fire alarm signaling circuits
• FPLP plenum rating meets NEC Article 760 requirements for air-handling spaces
• Red jacket for industry-standard fire alarm circuit identification
• 1,000-foot reel minimizes splices on large commercial runs
• Low-smoke, low-flame-spread insulation suitable for plenum environments

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated fire alarm cable for use in FPLP-classified wiring applications per NEC Article 760, compatible with standard 18 AWG fire alarm control panels, initiating device circuits, and notification appliance circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or fire alarm system installer in accordance with NEC Article 760 and all applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow the panel manufacturer lockout procedures before connecting conductors. Verify with the authority having jurisdiction that FPLP-rated cable is required or permitted for the specific plenum space before pulling wire. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable to avoid damaging the stranded conductors or insulation.
