Cable Strengths
Our premium 18/2 solid, shielded Fire Alarm cable for hardwired smoke detector or fire alarm system has many strengths:
- Flexible and easy to strip, so you or your customers can easily install it, even around tight corners
- REELEX® coil, so the cable won’t tangle during installation
- RhinoPac® packaging, so the cable won’t get crushed or damaged by water during transport or storage, and so it’s easy to hold the box while you’re installing the cable
- A ripcord underneath the jacket, to make it easy to remove during installation
- Legend markings for channels, rooms, and zones so installation is faster and easier
- Ascending and descending E-Z footage markings, so there’s no need for a measuring tape during installation
- This Fire Alarm Cable uses the latest available shielding technology (including an overall shield and drain wire), which will protect your system from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and other circuits ‘noise’ that could otherwise negatively affect your system’s performance or even make your system fail at a crucial moment. (Note that insulation doesn’t provide any protection against EMI or any other types of signal interference.)
- Sunlight-resistant (it complies with the UL 1581 standard in regard to resistance to sunlight in outdoor installations), so it can be installed outdoors if desired
- FPLR (Riser-Rated) flame-retardant jacket, for peace of mind in case of fire
- RoHS compliant, so you can rest easy knowing it doesn’t contain hazardous substances that could harm you, your employees, or your customers (more information about this is in our Green Leaf Label)
- Third-party verified for guaranteed performance, so it will stand up to your needs or those of your customers
- Operates in a wide range of temperatures, so it can be installed in any area in any part of North America
- This cable has a thick insulation and is rated to 300-Volt and is classified as a Class-3 (CL3) Power-Limited Circuit Cable. (CL3 cables can carry a surge of up to 300 watts, while CL2 can only carry a surge of up to 150 watts. A CL3-rated cable can take the place of any CL2, however, a CL2 cannot take the place of a CL3)
- Versatile applications including all fire protective signaling circuits (including circuits that contain one or more smoke detectors, strobes, sirens, pull stations, and voice communications), burglar alarms, audio, control, initiating and notification circuits, and microprocessor or addressable-controlled systems
