Installation Notes

This 22/2 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/CL2R rating ensures the cable meets fire safety requirements for these applications.

CMR/CL2R Riser Rating: The dual CMR/CL2R rating indicates:

• CMR (Communications Riser): Suitable for vertical runs per NEC Article 800
• CL2R (Class 2 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

Unshielded Construction: The unshielded design makes this cable ideal for:

• Installations where electromagnetic interference is not a concern
• Cost-effective solution for basic alarm circuits
• Residential installations and low-interference commercial environments
• Applications where shielding is not required by specification

Choose unshielded when:

• Installation environment has minimal EMI/RFI sources
• Budget is a consideration
• Shielding is not specified by system requirements

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
• Cost-effective solution for basic security installations

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

Print Legends for Identification: The jacket includes printed legends indicating:

• Cable type and specifications
• Fire rating (CMR/CL2R)
• Conductor gauge and count
• Compliance certifications

This ensures easy identification during and after installation.

Pull-Box Packaging: The 1,000 ft pull-box design provides:

• Tangle-free dispensing for efficient installations
• Easy access to cable during runs
• Protects cable from damage during storage and transport
• Convenient for job site use

Installation Best Practices:

• Verify local building codes before installation
• Use appropriate jacket rating for installation location (CMR for risers, CMP for plenums)
• Maintain minimum bend radius (4x cable diameter)
• Support cable properly per NEC requirements for vertical runs
• Use fire-stopping materials at floor penetrations
• Label cables at both ends for easy identification

22/2 Configuration Applications: The 2-conductor design is perfect for:

• Basic security alarm zones
• Door and window contacts
• Motion detector connections
• Simple intercom systems
• Basic audio distribution
• Any application requiring two wires

This professional-grade riser security alarm bulk cable provides reliable, code-compliant performance for vertical installations in residential and commercial buildings where cost-effective, flexible cabling is required for basic alarm and communication circuits.
