CONDUCTORS:
Fully annealed solid bare copper per ASTM B3 & B258.

DRAIN WIRE:
Solid 24AWG tinned copper drain wire.

ASSEMBLY:
Insulated conductors cabled together with or without shield under an overall jacket. Ripcord and sequential footage markings to facilitate installation.

CONDUCTOR COLORS:
Black and Red

JACKET COLOR:
Red

INSULATION:

Premium-grade, color-coded FEP.

The 14/2 Shielded 200°C Fire Alarm Advantage:

  • LL39 Compliance Guaranteed: Printed with the mandatory NYC-certified legend to ensure immediate approval by DOB electrical inspectors.

  • High-Ampacity 14 AWG Pair: The thick solid copper core is designed to mitigate voltage drop on massive vertical runs, ensuring strobes and speakers perform at full capacity.

  • Active EMI/RFI Shielding: Features a 100% coverage aluminum/mylar shield and tinned copper drain wire to block interference from nearby elevator motors, HVAC blowers, and wireless equipment.

  • Extreme 200°C FEP Construction: Utilizing Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP), this cable provides a thermal safety margin far beyond standard 75°C or 105°C plenum wires.

  • Plenum Rated (FPLP): Certified for installation in air-handling spaces and high-rise plenums without requiring conduit.

Installer’s Note:


"For NYC high-rise speaker circuits running through dense mechanical shafts, the 14/2 Shielded FPLP NYC Approved Fire Alarm Cable is your insurance policy against signal hum and voltage drop. By combining the low resistance of 14-gauge copper with a Local Law 39 compliant foil shield, you're ensuring that emergency voice-evacuation instructions stay intelligible and loud, regardless of the electrical interference nearby."

New York City requires fire alarm cables to meet specific standards beyond standard NEC rules, specifically Local Law 39 (LL39) and Local Law 5. This means the cable must feature specialized insulation (like FEP or ECTFE) that is flame-retardant and low-smoke, often with a higher temperature rating (150°C to 200°C) than standard fire alarm wire.

Unshielded: Ideal for most standard notification appliance circuits (NACs) and pull stations where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is not a concern.

Shielded: Required for data communication links (SLC loops) or installations near high-voltage lines, elevator motors, or fluorescent lighting to prevent signal interference and false alarms.

14/2 NYC Approved Fire Alarm Cable is a high-capacity, two-conductor plenum cable used when a system requires maximum power delivery over long distances. In the NYC market, where high-rise construction is the standard, 14 AWG is frequently mandated by engineers to ensure life-safety devices function perfectly under load.

Specifically, 14/2 NYC cable is used for:

  • High-Draw Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs): Used to power long runs of synchronized strobes, sirens, and bells. The thick 14 AWG copper ensures that the last strobe on the circuit receives the exact voltage required by code to flash at the correct candela.
  • Speaker Circuits for Voice Evacuation: Preferred for high-rise voice evacuation systems where maintaining audio clarity and preventing signal loss over many floors is critical for life safety.
  • Booster Power Supply Connections: Used to connect the main Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) to remote power booster panels located throughout a large facility.
  • Extreme Run Lengths: When an 18/2 or 16/2 circuit would suffer from too much voltage drop due to distance, 14/2 is the professional solution to stay within Local Law 39 (LL39) compliance.

Important Note: Consult Your Licensed NYC Electrician
While our cables are NYC Approved and manufactured to meet Local Law 39 standards, fire alarm requirements can vary based on your specific building type, occupancy, and the latest FDNY bulletins.

NYC Approved FPLP (Plenum): Must be used in "plenum" spaces—areas used for air circulation, like above drop ceilings or under raised floors. These have a low-smoke, high-fire-resistance jacket.

NYC Approved FPLR (Riser): Used for vertical runs between floors (risers). In NYC, most commercial specs call for FPLP even in non-plenum areas for maximum safety, but check your specific building code.

14 AWG is typically used for long-distance notification runs or "high-draw" circuits. In large NYC commercial buildings, 14 AWG ensures that sirens and strobes at the end of a long hallway receive the full voltage required to operate during an emergency. While 14/2 is heavier and more expensive than thinner gauges, it also provides a "safe" margin for error.

While our cables are NYC Approved and manufactured to meet Local Law 39 standards, fire alarm requirements can vary based on your specific building type, occupancy, and the latest FDNY bulletins.
