Genesis Cable 55468703 18/4 Solid Thhn Mc Cable Red 1000 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 55468703 is an 18 AWG, 4-conductor solid THHN metal clad (MC) cable with a dedicated ground conductor, supplied on a 1000-foot reel. The red jacket provides quick visual identification for fire alarm circuit wiring runs. MC cable construction features an interlocked aluminum armor that protects conductors from mechanical damage while meeting code requirements for installations where conduit would otherwise be required. This cable is sized and constructed for use in fire alarm and life safety systems, and is typically handled by licensed electricians working on commercial fire detection and notification circuits.

This cable is suited for fire alarm system wiring in commercial and light industrial environments where metal clad armored cable is specified or required by the authority having jurisdiction. The solid conductor construction is standard for fire alarm signaling circuits. The red outer jacket color is a widely recognized industry convention for fire alarm wiring, supporting code compliance and circuit tracing during inspection or service. The 1000-foot reel length supports large-scale rough-in work and reduces the number of splices on long runs.

Key Features

• 18 AWG solid THHN conductors rated for fire alarm signaling circuits
• 4-conductor plus ground configuration for multi-circuit or supervised loop wiring
• Interlocked metal clad armor provides mechanical protection without conduit
• Red jacket for visual identification consistent with fire alarm wiring conventions
• 1000-foot reel minimizes mid-run splices on large commercial installations
• THHN insulation rated for heat and moisture resistance in typical building environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-supply MC cable for fire alarm and life safety system wiring applications requiring 18 AWG 4-conductor solid armored cable with ground.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 330 governing metal clad cable and NFPA 72 requirements for fire alarm circuit wiring. De-energize and lock out all circuits before making connections or terminations. Use listed MC cable cutters to avoid nicking conductors or deforming the armor, and secure the cable at intervals required by applicable code. Verify with the authority having jurisdiction that red-jacketed MC cable meets local fire alarm wiring specifications before rough-in.
