Genesis Cable 52505501 16/2 Stranded Cmr Audio Cable 500 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 52505501 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor stranded CMR-rated audio cable supplied in a 500-foot length with a white jacket. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating makes this wire suitable for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings where plenum-rated cable is not required. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility during pulls through conduit, walls, and wire management trays. This cable is used by low-voltage installers, AV integrators, and alarm contractors for in-wall audio distribution and background music systems.

This cable is designed for non-plenum, riser-rated in-wall audio installations in residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include distributed audio speaker wiring, background music systems, and intercom wiring where a 16 AWG 2-conductor configuration meets the load and distance requirements of the installation. The 500-foot spool quantity suits single-zone and multi-zone rough-in work without mid-run splicing.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation pulls
• 2-conductor configuration for standard speaker or audio signal runs
• CMR (Riser) rating approved for vertical in-wall runs in non-plenum spaces
• White jacket for clean, identifiable in-wall rough-in work
• 500-foot spool reduces mid-run splices on longer residential and commercial jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CMR-rated 16 AWG 2-conductor stranded cable for non-plenum in-wall audio and speaker wiring applications in residential and commercial installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified AV integrator in accordance with applicable NEC guidelines for riser-rated cable. Do not use this cable in air-handling spaces or plenum ceilings where CMP-rated cable is required by code. Secure and support cable runs per local building codes and avoid sharp bends that can damage the conductor insulation. De-energize any connected equipment before terminating conductors.
