The Genesis 46141004 is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor stranded shielded plenum fire alarm cable from Southwire’s Genesis® line. It carries the Type FPLP power-limited fire alarm plenum rating. As a result, installers use it where electrical noise rejection matters. The cable ships in red on a 1000-foot reel.
Genesis 46141004 Specifications
Construction starts with bare copper conductors and low-smoke PVC insulation. In addition, an aluminum/polyester foil shield wraps all conductors. Furthermore, a stranded conductor design adds flexibility for tight pulls. The outer plenum PVC jacket meets NFPA 262 burn-and-smoke requirements. Nominal weight is 19 lbs per 1000 feet.
Electrical Ratings
This cable is rated 300 volts. Also, the operating temperature range is -20°C to 75°C. The foil shield includes a drain wire for termination at the panel ground.
Listings and Standards
This 18/2 stranded shielded plenum fire alarm cable meets multiple recognized standards:
- NFPA 262 — Plenum-rated
- UL 1424 — Power-Limited Fire-Alarm Circuits, Type FPLP
- UL 13 — Power-Limited Circuit Cables, Type CL3P
- CSA C22.2 No. 2556 — FT6 rated
- REACH/RoHS compliant
Installation Applications
First, the FPLP rating allows installation in fabricated air ducts per NEC 300.22(B). Then, it runs in plenum spaces per NEC 300.22(C) and in risers. In addition, the foil shield rejects EMI/RFI on initiating-device circuits running near electrical conduit. As a result, signal integrity holds up in noisy electrical rooms.
