Genesis Cable 52535001 14AWG 4-conductor Cmr Audio Cable 500ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 52535001 is a 14 AWG 4-conductor stranded CMR-rated audio cable supplied in a 500-foot pull, finished in white jacket. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating qualifies this cable for installation in riser pathways between floors, where fire-spread resistance is required by code. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during routing and termination, making it well suited for permanent low-voltage audio distribution runs in commercial and residential settings. Electricians and low-voltage technicians select this cable for speaker and audio signal wiring where riser compliance is a project requirement.

This cable is used in non-plenum riser applications for distributed audio systems, background music, paging, and speaker wiring. Typical installations include multi-zone audio in offices, retail spaces, schools, and hospitality environments. The 500-foot continuous pull length reduces splice points across long runs in riser shafts, corridors, and wall cavities. It is not rated for plenum air-handling spaces and should not be substituted for CMP-rated cable in those environments.

Key Features

• 14 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and ease of termination
• 4-conductor configuration supports stereo speaker pairs or multi-channel audio runs
• CMR riser rating meets NEC requirements for riser and general-purpose vertical installations
• White jacket finish simplifies identification and blends with standard interior finishes
• 500-foot pull length minimizes mid-run splices on long riser or wall runs
• Non-plenum rated — appropriate for riser and in-wall use outside air-handling spaces

Compatibility

Designed for non-plenum riser audio wiring applications including distributed speaker systems, background music, and paging installations where CMR-rated 14 AWG 4-conductor cable is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and local codes governing communications wiring. De-energize any connected audio equipment before making terminations. Do not install this CMR-rated cable in plenum air-handling spaces — a CMP-rated cable is required in those locations. Secure and support cable at intervals consistent with local code requirements and avoid sharp bends that could damage conductor insulation.
