18/2 Solid Shielded Fire Alarm Cable – FPLP Plenum Rated, 1000ft Blue Spool

Description

18/2 Shielded Fire Alarm Cable – Solid | FPLP Plenum Rated | 1000ft Spool | Blue

This professional-grade 18/2 Shielded Fire Alarm Cable is engineered for dependable performance in commercial and residential fire detection and life-safety systems. Constructed with solid 18 AWG bare copper conductors and an aluminum foil shield with drain wire, it minimizes electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) — maintaining clean, stable signals even in electrically noisy environments.

The cable is FPLP (Fire Power-Limited Plenum) rated, meeting strict NEC fire codes for installation in air-handling spaces such as HVAC ducts, drop ceilings, and plenum return areas. Its low-smoke PVC blue jacket delivers both fire safety and instant circuit identification, and the 1000ft spool keeps large commercial installs moving efficiently.

Why Choose a Shielded FPLP Fire Alarm Cable?

Fire alarm circuits often share pathways with power lines, fluorescent lighting, motors, and HVAC equipment — all sources of electrical noise that can trigger false alarms or mask real ones. The foil shield and drain wire on this 18/2 Shielded Fire Alarm Cable drain interference safely to ground, keeping detection and notification signals crisp and dependable when seconds matter most.

Solid bare copper — not copper-clad aluminum — ensures low resistance and reliable current delivery to smoke detectors, pull stations, control panels, and notification appliances across extended commercial runs.
