Genesis Cable 52501108 16/2 Stranded Cmr Audio Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 52501108 is a 16 AWG, 2-conductor stranded CMR-rated audio cable supplied in a 1000-foot quantity. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating allows installation in vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings while meeting fire-spread requirements set by the NEC. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during pulls through conduit, walls, and ceilings. Black jacket finish suits standard rough-in applications. This cable is intended for low-voltage audio distribution systems and is installed by licensed low-voltage technicians and electricians.

This cable is well suited for background music systems, in-wall speaker runs, intercom wiring, and distributed audio installations in residential and light commercial environments. Riser-rated construction makes it appropriate for vertical pathway installations where plenum-rated cable is not required by code. The 1000-foot reel supports full-building audio wiring projects without mid-run splices.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility in long pull runs
• 2-conductor configuration for standard speaker and audio wiring
• CMR riser rating meets NEC requirements for vertical between-floor runs
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splicing on large installations
• Black jacket for standard in-wall rough-in applications
• Non-plenum rated — suitable where plenum-rated cable is not required

Compatibility

Designed for use in non-plenum, riser-rated low-voltage audio wiring applications including in-wall speaker runs and distributed audio systems in residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with NEC Article 820 and local AHJ requirements. Verify with the local authority having jurisdiction whether CMR or CMP (plenum) rating is required before installation. Do not install this non-plenum cable in air-handling spaces or ducts where plenum-rated cable is mandated. Secure cable at appropriate intervals per NEC guidelines and avoid sharp bends that could damage the stranded conductors.
