Genesis Cable 52501101 16/2 Stranded Cmr Audio Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 52501101 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor stranded CMR-rated audio cable supplied in a 1000-foot white-jacketed spool. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating makes this wire suitable for in-wall and between-floor runs where riser-rated cable is required by code. The 16 AWG stranded conductors provide flexibility during routing and maintain low resistance over long speaker runs. This cable is used primarily for speaker distribution and background audio wiring in residential and light commercial installations. It is sold as a single 1000-foot spool.

This cable is designed for non-plenum audio distribution applications including in-wall speaker wiring, multi-zone audio systems, and distributed background music installations. Its riser rating allows vertical runs between floors without requiring the higher-cost CMP plenum rating. Audio installers, low-voltage contractors, and security or systems integrators are the typical trades working with this product.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and low-resistance speaker runs
• 2-conductor configuration suited to standard single-speaker or stereo home-run wiring
• CMR riser rating meets NEC requirements for in-wall vertical cable runs
• White jacket blends with standard wall and ceiling finishes
• 1000-foot spool reduces splice points on large or multi-room installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser-rated audio cable for use in non-plenum in-wall speaker and distributed audio wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or qualified audio systems integrator in accordance with NEC Article 640 and local code requirements. Verify that CMR riser rating is acceptable for the intended pathway before pulling wire — plenum-rated CMP cable is required in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bends, staple-through fasteners, and over-tightened cable ties that can deform the conductors or jacket. De-energize any connected amplifiers or source equipment before terminating conductors.
