The Genesis 21155501 is an 18 AWG, 4-conductor stranded bare copper riser cable from Southwire’s Genesis® line. It carries the Type CMR riser rating. As a result, this cable suits security, access control, audio, and other Class 2/3 low-voltage circuits. It is NOT FPLR fire alarm rated. The cable ships in a 500-foot pull box with a white PVC jacket.
Genesis 21155501 Specifications
The construction uses 19-strand bare copper conductors with polypropylene insulation. In addition, the outer jacket is standard PVC. Furthermore, the cable is rated for 300 volts maximum. Also, a rip cord and Countdown® length markings simplify termination and remaining-cable tracking on the job site.
Listings and Standards for Genesis 21155501
This 18/4 stranded riser cable carries the listings below:
- UL 444 — Communications Cables, Type CMR (Riser)
- UL 1666 — Standard Test for Flame Propagation in Risers
- CSA C22.2 No. 2556 — FT4 flame test

Installation Notes
First, the CMR rating allows installation in vertical risers per NEC Article 800. Then, the stranded 18 AWG construction handles repeated terminations on access control panels, intercom systems, and audio runs. However, this cable is NOT FPLR fire alarm rated. Therefore, do not specify it on fire alarm circuits. As a result, use a Genesis 43xxx FPLR cable for fire alarm applications instead.
