Genesis Cable 55551004 14 Awg 2 Pair Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 55551004 is a 14 AWG 2-pair solid conductor shielded fire alarm cable supplied on a 1000-foot reel in red jacket. This cable is engineered for use in fire alarm and life safety signaling systems where reliable, low-resistance signal transmission is required. The solid conductor construction maintains consistent electrical continuity over long runs, and the overall shield provides protection against electromagnetic interference. The red jacket provides immediate visual identification as a fire alarm circuit in the field. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is suited for residential and commercial fire alarm panel installations, including notification, initiating device circuits, and signaling line circuits where shielded, solid-conductor cable is specified. It is commonly pulled in conduit or routed through cable trays and plenum or non-plenum rated pathways depending on the authority having jurisdiction. The 1000-foot reel format is standard for new construction wiring and larger retrofit projects.

Key Features

• 14 AWG solid conductor construction for low-resistance, long-distance signal runs
• 2-pair configuration supports multiple circuit paths in a single cable run
• Overall shield reduces electromagnetic interference on fire alarm signaling circuits
• Red jacket provides code-required visual identification for fire alarm wiring
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splices and speeds installation on larger jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation cable for shielded solid fire alarm and life safety signaling systems requiring 14 AWG 2-pair conductors.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and notify the monitoring station before pulling or terminating cable. Use appropriate pulling lubricant and maintain minimum bend radius to avoid conductor damage. Verify shield drain wire termination requirements at the panel per the manufacturer instructions.
