Genesis Cable 55468903 16/4 Sol Thhn Mc Cable Red 1000 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 55468903 is a 16 AWG, 4-conductor solid THHN metal clad (MC) cable with a dedicated ground conductor, supplied in a 1000-foot reel in red jacket. MC cable combines the insulation performance of THHN conductors with the mechanical protection of an interlocked aluminum armor, making it a code-compliant choice for fire alarm system wiring. The red jacket provides instant visual identification as fire alarm cable on the job site. Licensed fire alarm installers and low-voltage contractors are the primary end users of this product.

This cable is designed for use in fire alarm and life-safety signaling circuits in commercial and residential applications where metal clad armored cable is required by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) or local code. It is commonly pulled through walls, above ceilings, and in exposed runs where conduit is not used but mechanical protection is still required. The 16 AWG solid conductors are appropriate for initiating device circuits (IDC) and signaling line circuits (SLC) in typical fire alarm control panel installations.

Key Features

• 16 AWG solid conductors rated for THHN insulation performance
• 4-conductor configuration plus dedicated ground for fire alarm circuit wiring
• Interlocked metal clad (MC) armor provides mechanical protection without conduit
• Red outer jacket for immediate visual identification as fire alarm cable
• 1000-foot reel quantity suited for full-building fire alarm pulls
• Armored construction meets requirements where MC cable is mandated by the AHJ

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wiring solution for fire alarm and life-safety signaling systems requiring metal clad armored cable in 16 AWG 4-conductor solid THHN configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation of fire alarm MC cable must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize the fire alarm control panel and notify the monitoring center before beginning any wiring work. MC cable requires a listed MC cable cutter and appropriate connector fittings at all termination points — do not nick or damage the THHN conductor insulation when stripping the armor. Support and secure the cable at intervals required by the NEC and local amendments.
