    About Wire and Cable
    industrial info icon

    Compare wire vs. cable and choose the right option based on gauge, number of conductors, insulation, and current rating.

    Duct-Rated Fire Alarm Cable

    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.
    Unshielded—Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.
    Shielded—Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has an uninsulated ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.
