The cable ships in a 500-foot pull box with a white PVC jacket.
Genesis 21045501 Specifications
The construction uses 7-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 assist installers during termination and inventory tracking.
Listings and Standards for Genesis 21045501

Installation Notes
First, the CMR rating allows installation in vertical risers per NEC Article 800. Then, the stranded construction provides flexibility for tight pulls and frequent terminations. However, this cable is NOT FPLR fire alarm rated. Therefore, do not specify it on fire alarm circuits. As a result, installers needing fire alarm cable should choose a Genesis 43xxx FPLR cable instead.
