Genesis Cable 53555012 RG59 Bc 18/2 Cmp Plenum Coax

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 53555012 is a plenum-rated RG59 coaxial cable with an 18 AWG 2-conductor (18/2) solid bare copper (BC) center construction, designed for low-voltage signal distribution in commercial and residential installations. The CMP plenum rating means this cable meets the fire-resistance and low-smoke requirements for air-handling spaces, making it code-compliant for installation in plenum ceilings and raised-access floors. Electrical and low-voltage contractors use this cable for CCTV, CATV, and composite video runs where both coax and power conductors are needed in a single jacket. The natural jacket finish suits concealed plenum pathways.

This cable is well suited for combination video and power runs in security camera systems, closed-circuit television, and structured wiring projects in commercial buildings. The integrated 18/2 conductors allow a single cable pull to deliver both the coaxial signal and the DC power feed to cameras or other low-voltage devices. Plenum-rated installations are required wherever the NEC classifies the space as an air-handling area, and this cable satisfies that requirement. Low-voltage electricians and systems integrators working under NEC Article 820 will find this product appropriate for those applications.

Key Features

• CMP plenum rating meets fire-resistance and low-smoke-emission requirements for air-handling spaces
• RG59 coaxial construction suitable for CCTV, CATV, and composite video signal distribution
• Bare copper (BC) center conductor for reliable conductivity and termination
• Integrated 18/2 power pair allows single-cable pulls for combined video and DC power runs
• Natural jacket color for concealed plenum installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum coaxial cable for low-voltage security, CCTV, and structured wiring systems requiring CMP-rated RG59 cable with an integrated 18/2 power pair.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with NEC Article 820 and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits before terminating or splicing conductors. Maintain the minimum bend radius specified for RG59 coaxial cable to prevent signal degradation. Plenum spaces must be verified with the authority having jurisdiction before cable selection is finalized.
