Genesis 41585008 18/6 Stranded Unshielded Fire Alarm Cable, Direct Burial, FPL, CL3, 500' (152.4 m) Reel, Black

The Genesis 41585008 is a 500' (152.4 m) reel of 18/6 stranded, unshielded fire alarm cable in black, rated FPL and CL3 and approved for direct burial. It suits installers running fire alarm circuits outdoors, including underground runs between buildings. Bare copper conductors, sunlight-resistant construction and countdown length markings make it practical for long outdoor pulls.

Key features

• Bare copper conductors give excellent conductivity and low voltage drop.
• SRPVC insulation sits under a PVC jacket.
• A rip cord lets you strip and remove the jacket efficiently.
• Countdown length markings make it easy to track how much cable you have used and how much is left.
• The cable is sunlight resistant (UV) rated and carries a 300 volt rating.
• It is rated for -20 °C to 75 °C and is REACH/RoHS compliant.
