Description:
The Fire Alarm Cable, FPLR (Riser), 16/4 is a type of electrical cable that is commonly used in commercial buildings and public spaces for fire safety purposes. This cable is designed to be installed vertically in a building's riser shafts, which are the spaces through which cables and pipes are run vertically between floors.
The cable is 16-gauge and consists of four insulated conductors, each with a protective jacket to prevent signal loss and interference. The cable is also rated for fire resistance and is designed to withstand exposure to high temperatures and smoke, which are common in the event of a fire.
FPLR (Riser) is the fire safety rating assigned to this cable, indicating that it is suitable for installation in riser shafts. The 16/4 designation indicates that the cable contains four conductors with a 16-gauge size.
This type of cable is widely used in fire alarm systems and emergency communication systems in commercial and public buildings. It is also commonly used in other systems where fire safety is a concern, such as in elevator shafts and stairwells. The FPLR rating ensures that this cable is suitable for use in vertical applications where fire safety is a critical concern.
