Description
This stranded FPL shielded cable is engineered for power‑limited fire alarm and life‑safety systems. Stranded copper conductors provide flexible handling and reliable terminations, while a 100% aluminum/polyester foil shield with drain wire helps reject EMI/RFI for longer runs and noise‑sensitive circuits. The red PVC jacket identifies life‑safety cabling and is suitable for general‑purpose in‑wall installations where FPL is permitted. Use it for initiating device loops (IDCs), notification appliance circuits (NACs), control/relay wiring, as well as access control, intercom and general low‑voltage security wiring. For riser or plenum spaces, select FPLR or FPLP versions as required by code.
