Commercial and life-safety fire alarm cable featuring annealed solid bare copper conductors, flame-retardant PVC (FR-PVC) insulation, an integrated ripcord, and a durable FR-PVC protective jacket. Available in 14, 16, 18, and 22 AWG sizes in 2-conductor and 4-conductor configurations, as well as unshielded and overall aluminum foil shielded (with a 0.38 mm tinned copper drain wire) options for protection against signal interference. Offered in UL-listed Riser-rated (FPLR) and Plenum-rated (FPLP) constructions for installation in vertical shafts or environmental air-handling plenum spaces. Engineered for critical life-safety and signaling applications, including fire alarm systems, smoke detectors, voice communications, burglar alarms, and fire protective circuits. Includes sequential footage markings every 2 feet for easier tracking and installation.
