Genesis Cable 52515506 16/4 Stranded Cmr Audio Cable 500 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 52515506 is a 16 AWG 4-conductor stranded CMR-rated audio cable supplied in a 500-foot length. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating qualifies this cable for installation in riser pathways between floors in commercial and residential buildings where plenum-rated cable is not required. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during pulls and terminations. The blue jacket aids in system identification during rough-in and finish work. This cable is handled and installed by low-voltage technicians, audio-video integrators, and alarm system contractors.

This cable is suited for non-plenum audio distribution applications including background music systems, intercom wiring, speaker runs, and structured wiring installations in walls and vertical riser conduits. Its 4-conductor configuration supports stereo speaker pairs or combined signal and control runs in a single cable. The 500-foot reel length is appropriate for medium to large commercial jobs or multi-room residential audio installations where longer continuous runs are needed.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and low-resistance speaker-level signal transmission
• 4-conductor configuration supports stereo pairs or combined audio and control wiring
• CMR riser rating approved for vertical runs between floors in non-plenum spaces
• Blue jacket for easy identification in multi-cable installations
• 500-foot continuous length minimizes splice points on longer runs

Compatibility

Designed for non-plenum audio system wiring applications including background music, intercom, and speaker distribution in residential and light commercial installations where CMR-rated cable meets code requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified audio-video integrator in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for CMR-rated cable. This cable is not rated for plenum air-handling spaces and must not be substituted for CMP-rated cable in those environments. De-energize all connected equipment before making terminations. Avoid sharp bends and staple-through fasteners that can damage conductor insulation.
