The Genesis 32141112 is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor stranded shielded plenum cable from Southwire’s Genesis® line. It carries CMP, CL3P, and FPLP plenum listings. As a result, this cable suits shielded security, audio, control, and power-limited fire alarm circuits in air-handling spaces. The cable ships in a 1000-foot pull box with a natural-color plenum PVC jacket.
Genesis 32141112 Specifications
The construction features 19-strand bare copper conductors with low-smoke PVC insulation. In addition, an aluminum foil/Mylar® shield with a 24 AWG tinned-copper drain wire covers all conductors. Furthermore, the cable is rated for 300 volts maximum. Insulation colors are black and red. Also, the plenum PVC jacket has an overall diameter of approximately 0.156″.

- Impedance: 31 Ω (nominal)
- Lay length: 2.25″ (nominal)
- Shield: aluminum foil/Mylar® plus 24 AWG tinned-copper drain
Listings and Standards for Genesis 32141112
This 18/2 stranded shielded plenum cable carries the listings below:
- UL 444 — Communications Cables, Type CMP
- UL 13 — Power-Limited Circuit Cables, Type CL3P
- UL 1424 — Power-Limited Fire-Alarm Circuit Cables, Type FPLP
- NFPA 262 — Plenum flame and smoke test

Installation Notes
First, the foil shield with drain wire suppresses electromagnetic interference on long signal runs. Then, the CMP/CL3P/FPLP plenum rating allows installation in air-handling spaces per NEC 300.22(C). However, the drain wire must be grounded at one end only. As a result, installers avoid ground loops on shielded signal pairs.
