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/FPLR rating ensures the cable meets fire safety requirements for these applications.
CMR/CL3R/FPLR Riser Rating: The triple 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
- FPLR (Fire Power Limited Riser): Suitable for fire alarm systems per NEC Article 760
- Meets fire safety standards for riser applications
- NOT suitable for plenum spaces (use CMP-rated cable)
- Appropriate for vertical cable runs between floors
6-Conductor Configuration Advantages: The 6-conductor design provides excellent 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 sophisticated installations
- Six color-coded conductors for easy identification
When to Choose 6-Conductor: Choose this 6-conductor cable when:
- Multi-zone security system requires multiple conductors
- Installation efficiency is important (fewer cables to run)
- System requires more than 4 but fewer than 8 conductors
- Budget-conscious project needs versatile solution
- Multiple independent circuits needed in single run
Unshielded Construction: The unshielded design makes this cable ideal for:
- Installations where electromagnetic interference is not a concern
- Cost-effective solution for complex alarm circuits
- Residential installations and low-interference commercial environments
- Applications where shielding is not required by specification
- Budget-conscious projects requiring multiple conductors
Rip Cord Convenience: The integrated rip cord provides:
- Quick and easy jacket removal during termination
