Installation Notes

This 22/6 riser security alarm bulk cable is specifically designed for vertical installations between floors in non-plenum spaces, such as riser shafts, elevator shafts, and vertical cable runs in walls. The CMR/CL3R rating ensures the cable meets fire safety requirements for these applications.

CMR/CL3R Riser Rating: The dual CMR/CL3R rating indicates:

• CMR (Communications Riser): Suitable for vertical runs per NEC Article 800
• CL3R (Class 3 Riser): Suitable for power-limited circuits per NEC Article 725
• Meets fire safety standards for riser applications
• NOT suitable for plenum spaces (use CMP-rated cable)
• Appropriate for vertical cable runs between floors

Aluminum Mylar Shielding: The aluminum mylar shield provides important benefits:

• EMI/RFI protection: Blocks electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
• Signal integrity: Maintains clean signal transmission in noisy environments
• Prevents crosstalk: Reduces interference from adjacent cables and between internal conductors
• Suitable for high-interference areas: Near electrical equipment, fluorescent lighting, motors

6-Conductor Configuration Advantages: The 6-conductor design provides exceptional versatility:

• Multiple circuits in a single cable run
• Complex security system installations
• Multi-zone alarm systems
• Reduces number of cable runs needed
• Cost-effective for complex installations
• Six color-coded conductors for easy identification

When to Choose Shielded 6-Conductor: Choose this shielded 6-conductor cable when:

• Complex security system requires multiple conductors
• Installation is near electrical panels, motors, or power equipment
• Environment has fluorescent lighting or electronic equipment
• Industrial or manufacturing facility with machinery
• Multi-zone system benefits from single cable run
• Signal integrity is critical and interference is a concern

Rip Cord Convenience: The integrated rip cord provides:

• Quick and easy jacket removal during termination
• Saves installation time
• Reduces risk of damaging conductors during stripping
• Professional-looking terminations

Stranded Conductor Benefits: The 7-strand construction provides:

• Flexibility for routing around corners and through tight spaces
• Easier handling during installation
• Good balance between flexibility and performance
• Suitable for both short and long runs

22 AWG Gauge: The 22 AWG size offers:

• Excellent flexibility for security alarm applications
• Adequate current-carrying capacity for most alarm circuits
• Easy termination at control panels and devices
• Good performance for moderate-length runs

Sequential Footage Marking: The printed footage markers on the jacket allow you to:

• Track cable usage and remaining length in the pull-box
• Calculate exact lengths needed for vertical runs
• Maintain accurate installation documentation
• Avoid waste and ensure adequate supply

Low Smoke PVC Jacket: The low-smoke gray PVC jacket provides:

• Reduced smoke generation in fire situations
• Code-compliant construction
• Professional gray appearance
• Durability for long-term installations

Installation Best Practices:

• Verify local building codes before installation
• Use appropriate jacket rating for installation location (CMR for risers)
• Maintain minimum bend radius (4x cable diameter = ~18mm)
• Support cable properly per NEC requirements for vertical runs
• Use fire-stopping materials at floor penetrations
• Ground shielding properly at one end only
• Use rip cord for clean jacket removal
• Label cables at both ends for easy identification

22/6 Shielded Configuration Applications: The 6-conductor shielded design is perfect for:

• Multi-zone security alarm systems with interference protection
• Complex access control installations
