The Genesis 21151109 is an 18 AWG, 4-conductor stranded riser cable from Southwire’s Genesis® line. It carries a triple-rated CL3R, FPLR, and CMR listing. As a result, this cable works on Class 3, fire alarm, and communications risers. Furthermore, it is sunlight-resistant for limited exterior pulls. The cable ships in a 1000-foot REELEX pull box with a gray PVC jacket.
Genesis 21151109 Specifications
The construction features 19-strand bare copper conductors with polypropylene insulation (0.006″ nominal). In addition, the outer PVC jacket is sunlight-resistant (0.015″ nominal). Furthermore, the cable is rated for 300 volts maximum. Insulation colors are black, red, white, and green. Also, a rip cord and Countdown® length markings ease installation.
