Genesis Cable 55468803 16/2 Solid Thhn Mc Cable Red 1000 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 55468803 is a 16 AWG, 2-conductor solid THHN metal clad (MC) cable with ground, finished in red jacket and supplied in a 1000-foot reel. It is purpose-built for fire alarm signaling circuits where metal clad armored construction is required by code. The solid conductors meet THHN insulation standards, and the interlocked metal armor provides the mechanical protection demanded in commercial and institutional fire alarm installations. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is suited for use in fire alarm and life safety wiring applications in commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings where metal clad cable is specified or required. The red jacket serves as a visual identifier for fire alarm circuits, aiding inspection and system maintenance. It is appropriate for use in conduit or as a standalone MC cable run depending on local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements and applicable fire and electrical codes.

Key Features

• 16 AWG solid conductors with THHN insulation for fire alarm signaling circuits
• 2-conductor plus ground configuration in a single metal clad assembly
• Interlocked metal armor provides mechanical protection without conduit in qualifying installations
• Red outer jacket for immediate visual identification of fire alarm wiring
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splice points on long runs
• Fire alarm metal clad category rating for life safety system compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard supply for fire alarm and life safety signaling systems requiring 16/2 solid THHN metal clad armored cable with ground.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or qualified low-voltage contractor in accordance with NFPA 72, NFPA 70 (NEC Article 330), and local AHJ requirements. De-energize and lock out all circuits before making terminations. Maintain minimum bend radius of the armor during routing to avoid damage to conductors or the interlocked armor jacket. All splices and terminations must be made inside listed enclosures appropriate for fire alarm systems.
