Description:
The Fire Alarm Cable, FPLP (Plenum), 16/2 Shielded is a type of electrical cable commonly used in commercial buildings and public spaces for the purpose of fire safety. This particular type of cable is designed to be installed in plenum spaces, which are areas within a building's ventilation system where air is circulated.
The cable is 16-gauge and consists of two insulated conductors, each with a shielding layer to protect against interference and signal loss. The cable is also shielded overall, with an outer layer of metallic foil and a drain wire for grounding.
The plenum-rated jacket of the cable is made from flame-retardant materials that are designed to meet strict safety codes and regulations for fire protection. This cable is also capable of withstanding exposure to high temperatures and smoke, which are common in the event of a fire.
FPLP (Plenum) is the fire safety rating assigned to this cable, indicating that it is suitable for installation in plenum spaces. The 16/2 designation indicates that the cable contains two conductors with a 16-gauge size. Overall, this type of cable is widely used in fire alarm systems and emergency communication systems in commercial and public buildings.
