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
• 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

Made in USA: USA manufacturing ensures:

• Consistent quality control
• Compliance with domestic standards

• Maintain accurate installation documentation
• Avoid waste and ensure adequate supply

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
• Use rip cord for clean jacket removal
• Label cables at both ends for easy identification
• Document color code assignments for future reference
