Product Description
The GENESIS CABLE 21015809 is a 22 AWG 2-conductor solid unshielded riser-rated cable designed for low-voltage signal and control wiring in commercial and residential buildings. Riser (CMR) rating qualifies this cable for vertical runs between floors, meeting fire-propagation requirements for in-wall and between-floor installations. The solid conductor construction maintains stable resistance over long runs, making it well suited for alarm, access control, and intercom wiring where consistent signal integrity is required. Each spool contains 500 feet of gray-jacketed cable, providing enough run length for most single-zone or multi-drop installations without mid-run splices.
This cable is a standard choice for fire alarm signaling circuits, security system wiring, nurse call systems, and other low-voltage control applications installed inside building walls and vertical shaft spaces. Electricians and low-voltage technicians specify riser cable for any pathway that travels floor-to-floor in a non-plenum environment. The gray jacket aids identification in wiring closets and termination panels. Its solid conductors terminate cleanly into screw terminals and punch-down blocks commonly used in alarm and access control panels.
Key Features
- 22 AWG solid conductors provide stable resistance and clean terminations in screw-terminal and punch-down applications
- Riser (CMR) fire rating qualifies the cable for vertical floor-to-floor runs in non-plenum building spaces
- Unshielded construction keeps installation straightforward where EMI shielding is not required by the system design
- 500-foot spool length reduces splice points on longer runs within a single zone or loop
- Gray jacket supports easy visual identification in panels, closets, and junction boxes
Compatibility
Designed as a general-purpose low-voltage riser cable suitable for fire alarm signaling, security, access control, and intercom wiring systems that specify 22 AWG 2-conductor solid unshielded CMR-rated cable.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with NFPA 72, NEC Article 760, and all applicable local codes. De-energize all connected panels and control equipment before making terminations. Riser cable is approved for vertical runs between floors in non-plenum spaces only do not substitute for plenum-rated (CMP) cable in air-handling spaces. Maintain minimum bend radius during pull to avoid deforming the solid conductors and increasing resistance at splice or termination points.
