  • High-Capacity 14 AWG Conductors: The 14-gauge solid copper construction is designed to overcome voltage drop on long runs, ensuring synchronized strobes and speakers receive full power.

  • Premium 200°C FEP Insulation: Built with Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP), this cable offers extreme heat resistance far superior to standard 75°C or 105°C plenum wire.

  • 4-Conductor Versatility: The 4-wire (2-pair) configuration allows for efficient wiring of complex notification zones or bi-directional communication loops.

  • Plenum Rated (FPLP): UL-listed for installation in air-handling spaces without the need for additional conduit.

Installer’s Note:

"To meet Local Law 39 (LL39) requirements for high-output NYC speaker strobe loops and notification zones, this 14/4 Unshielded 200°C FPLP Fire Alarm cable is an ideal choice. The heavy-duty 14-gauge copper ensures your voltage stays within spec on long vertical runs, while the FEP jacket provides peace of mind that the system will remain operational during extreme thermal events."

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 Fluoropolymer insulation (like FEP) that is strictly flame-retardant and low-smoke. These cables carry a high temperature rating (often 200°C), providing a critical safety margin for high-rise life safety systems that standard fire wire cannot match.

Unshielded: Ideal for high-ampacity Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs), high-draw relay controls, and multi-signal pulls where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is not a factor.

Shielded: Necessary for data-heavy addressable loops (SLC) or runs where the cable is placed near high-voltage lines or large electric motors (like elevator machines) to prevent signal distortion.

14/4 Unshielded FPLP NYC cable is used for the most power-intensive parts of a system:

  • High-Power Notification Circuits (NACs): The four conductors allow for multiple strobe or speaker circuits in a single pull. The 14 AWG gauge ensures full voltage reaches devices at the end of extremely long runs.
  • Complex Relay and Interface Controls: Used for Smoke Damper Actuators, Fan Shutdowns, and Elevator Recall where multiple signals and higher current are required to move mechanical parts.
  • Class A Return Loops: Preferred for "Class A" wiring where the circuit must return to the panel. The thick copper core minimizes resistance over these double-distance runs.
  • Booster Power Supply Connections: Linking the main Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) to remote power supplies that handle heavy loads across many floors.

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). They feature low-smoke, high-fire-resistance jackets.

NYC Approved FPLR (Riser): Used for vertical runs between floors.

Standard Practice: In NYC commercial construction, engineers almost always specify FPLP (Plenum) even for non-plenum areas to ensure maximum system survivability and compliance with Local Law 39.

Choosing 14 AWG is a proactive measure against Voltage Drop and Line Loss. In NYC high-rises, a circuit may pull more amperage than thinner wires can handle without losing power. Using 14/4 provides a "safety cushion" that ensures all sirens, strobes, and dampers operate at 100% capacity to pass strict FDNY functional inspections.

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.

Yes. This is an FPLP (Fire Power-Limited Plenum) rated cable. It is specifically engineered for installation in air-handling spaces, drop ceilings, and vertical shafts. Its high-fire-resistance jacket allows for installation without the need for conduit in many NYC commercial interior spaces.

This cable is the standard for Commercial High-Rises, Hospitals, Schools, and Airports. Any project that prioritizes "Maximum Survivability" and requires the system to remain operational under extreme heat conditions will mandate this specific high-performance cable.

⚠️ Pro Note: Verify with Your Licensed NYC Electrician
New York City fire codes are unique and frequently updated. We strongly recommend confirming your wire schedule and gauge requirements with your Licensed Master Electrician or Fire Alarm Designer before placing your order to ensure full compliance with the latest FDNY and DOB bulletins.
