Genesis Cable 55468603 18/2 Solid Thhn Mc Cable Red 1000 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 55468603 is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor solid THHN metal clad (MC) cable with ground, supplied on a 1000-foot reel in red jacket. MC cable combines individually insulated THHN conductors with an interlocked armor sheath, providing both mechanical protection and a built-in equipment ground path in a single assembly. This configuration is commonly installed in fire alarm and life-safety signaling circuits where armored cable is required by code. Licensed electricians and fire alarm system installers are the primary trades working with this product.

This cable is suited for fire alarm and protective signaling applications in commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. The red jacket color is standard for fire alarm circuit identification, supporting quick visual compliance verification during inspection. Metal clad armor makes it appropriate for installation in areas where cable is exposed to physical damage, in concealed spaces, or where local codes require armored wiring methods for life-safety circuits.

Key Features

• 18 AWG solid THHN conductors rated for fire alarm and signaling circuits
• Interlocked metal clad armor provides mechanical protection and equipment ground path
• Red outer jacket for fire alarm circuit identification per standard color convention
• 1000-foot reel quantity minimizes splices on large runs
• THHN insulation rated for dry and damp locations

Compatibility

Designed as an armored MC cable for fire alarm and life-safety signaling system wiring in applications requiring metal clad construction per applicable electrical codes.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 330 governing metal clad cable and NFPA 72 for fire alarm system wiring. De-energize all circuits at the panel before terminating conductors, and verify the circuit is de-energized with a meter before handling. Use an approved MC cable cutter to avoid damaging conductor insulation when cutting the armor. Secure and support the cable at intervals required by the NEC and any applicable local amendments.
