Genesis 41565008 18/2 Stranded Unshielded Fire Alarm Cable, Direct Burial, FPL, CL3, 500' (152.4 m) Reel, Black

The Genesis 41565008 is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor stranded unshielded fire alarm cable rated for direct burial and supplied on a 500' (152.4 m) reel in black. It carries FPL and CL3 ratings and is built for outdoor fire alarm runs, which makes it a fit for installers and businesses running low-voltage circuits outside. Bare copper conductors, a sunlight-resistant jacket and countdown length markings are the standout details.

Key features

• Bare copper conductors give good conductivity and low voltage drop.
• SRPVC insulation is paired with a PVC jacket.
• A rip cord makes stripping and removing the jacket quicker.
• Countdown length markings help you track how much cable you have used and how much is left.
• Sunlight resistant (UV) rating suits exposed outdoor runs.
• Rated for 300 volts and for -20 °C to 75 °C.

Installation notes

Use the countdown markings to measure each run before cutting, and leave some slack at both ends for terminations. Because this cable is unshielded, keep it routed away from higher-voltage wiring where practical, and follow local code and the panel manufacturer's guidance for burial and splice methods.
