Genesis Cable 54755501 14/2 Audio Cable Cmr CL3R FT4

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 54755501 is a 14/2 stranded audio cable rated for in-wall and riser installations in residential and commercial audio distribution systems. Built with a 105-strand conductor configuration, it delivers flexible routing through walls, conduit, and cable trays. The CMR riser rating meets requirements for vertical runs between floors, while the dual CL3R and FT4 ratings confirm compliance with Class 3 remote signaling and Canadian flame-spread standards. Licensed electrical and low-voltage contractors rely on this cable for structured audio wiring where fire and code ratings are mandatory.

This cable is suited for non-plenum riser environments in multi-floor residential buildings, light commercial spaces, and mixed-use installations. Typical applications include distributed audio speaker runs, background music systems, and in-wall audio wiring where a CMR-rated cable is required by local code. The 105-strand construction makes it easier to pull through tight bends compared to lower-strand-count alternatives, reducing the risk of conductor damage during installation.

Key Features

• 14/2 conductor configuration with 105-strand flexibility for easier pulling and routing
• CMR riser rating suitable for vertical in-wall runs between floors
• CL3R rating meets NEC Class 3 requirements for remote signaling audio applications
• FT4 flame rating meets Canadian Standards Association flame-spread requirements
• Non-plenum construction appropriate for walls, conduit, and riser shafts outside air-handling spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a CMR-rated, non-plenum 14/2 audio cable for in-wall speaker and distributed audio wiring applications where CL3R or FT4 ratings are required by the applicable electrical or building code.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with NEC Article 725 and applicable local building codes. Do not install this non-plenum rated cable in air-handling spaces or plenum ceilings where a CMP-rated cable is required. Power down all connected audio equipment and amplifiers before terminating conductors. Avoid sharp bend radii during pulling to protect the stranded conductors and cable jacket.
