Description
The 16 AWG 2-Core Fire Alarm Cable is a high-quality signal and control cable specifically engineered for fire alarm, emergency communication, and safety monitoring systems. Built with a solid bare copper conductor, this cable ensures excellent electrical conductivity, low signal loss, and stable performance over long distances. Each conductor is insulated with durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC), providing superior dielectric strength and thermal stability. An aluminum/mylar foil shield, paired with a solid tinned copper drain wire, offers effective protection against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. The robust PVC outer jacket, available in red, white, or other standard colors, enhances mechanical protection and flame resistance. Fully compliant with UL 1581, UL 2556, and UL 1666 standards, this FPLR-rated cable meets stringent safety and fire-resistance requirements. Operating within a temperature range of -20°C to +105°C and rated for 300 volts, it is suitable for critical environments such as airports, offices, tunnels, schools, and control systems requiring reliable signal transmission and superior fire safety.
- Superior Conductivity: Solid bare copper conductor ensures high electrical performance and low attenuation.
- Durable Insulation: High-quality PVC insulation provides excellent mechanical strength and heat resistance.
- Shielded Design: Aluminum/Mylar shield and tinned copper drain wire minimize EMI/RFI for clear signal transmission.
- Flame Retardant: Meets UL 1666 and UL 2556 standards for flame propagation resistance.
- Wide Temperature Range: Reliable operation from -20°C to +105°C ensures stability in diverse environments.
- High Electrical Integrity: Withstands 2500V DC for 2 seconds without breakdown and maintains ≥100 MΩ insulation resistance.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for fire alarm, communication, and control systems in commercial and industrial installations.
- Standard Compliance: Fully adheres to UL 1581 construction and performance requirements for safety assurance.
