Duct-Rated Fire Alarm Cable
- Use For:
Unshielded: Buildings
Shielded: Buildings, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Temperature Range:
Unshielded: 0° to 165° F
Shielded: 32° to 165° F - Insulation: PVC Plastic
Also known as plenum cable, this FPLP cable has low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in duct work and above a drop ceiling. The insulation is also flame resistant for use in critical circuits such as fire alarm systems and smoke detectors.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.

Armored Fire Alarm Cable
- Use For: Buildings
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -10° to 190° F
- Insulation:
Outer: Aluminum Armor
Inner: Nylon Plastic, PVC Plastic
Prevent damage to wires for fire alarm systems, smoke detectors, and other critical circuits with this armored cable. Also known as metal clad (MC) cable, the metal armor acts as a conduit to protect the wires inside. The PVC inner insulation resists flames. Its nylon jacket is low smoke, so it can be used without conduit in duct work, under raised floors, and above a drop ceiling. This cable has a ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.
Hazardous location environmental ratings indicate whether manufacturers have included safety features in products to facilitate their safe use in a hazardous environment. Before selecting a product for a hazardous location, ensure it’s rated for your environment.
Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.
