Genesis Cable 52505505 16/2 Stranded Cmr Audio Cable 500 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 52505505 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor stranded CMR-rated audio cable supplied in a 500-foot length with a green jacket. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating allows installation in riser applications between floors in commercial and residential buildings, meeting fire-resistance requirements for vertical runs. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during routing and termination. This cable is designed for low-voltage audio distribution systems and is handled by licensed low-voltage and audio-visual installers.

This cable is suited for in-wall and riser audio wiring installations in residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include speaker wire runs, background music distribution, and structured audio system wiring where a riser-rated, non-plenum cable is specified. The green jacket aids in cable identification in multi-cable installations or where color-coded infrastructure management is used.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation and termination
• 2-conductor configuration for standard speaker or audio signal runs
• CMR (Riser) rating meets fire-resistance requirements for vertical building runs
• Green jacket supports color-coded cable management
• 500-foot pull length reduces the need for mid-run splices on longer runs

Compatibility

Designed as a riser-rated in-wall audio cable for non-plenum residential and light commercial audio distribution systems where 16 AWG 2-conductor CMR cable is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or audio-visual technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for CMR-rated cables. This cable is approved for riser installations but is not rated for plenum air-handling spaces — do not substitute for CMP-rated cable in plenum environments. De-energize connected equipment before terminating conductors. Use appropriate cable staples or supports to secure runs per local code requirements.
