Parent SKU : FAP-USHDNY16-1P
SKU : FAP-USHDNY16-1P-500
APPLICATION:
NYC Certified Plenum Rated Fire Alarm Cable is used for wiring fire alarms, smoke detectors, voice communications, burglar alarms, and approved for NYC LL39 (formerly LL5) fire protective circuits installed in the City of New York. Applications not to exceed 300 volts, suitable for use up to 200°C.
CONDUCTORS:
Fully annealed solid bare copper per ASTM B3 & B258.
ASSEMBLY:
Insulated conductors cabled together with or without shield under an overall jacket. Ripcord and sequential footage markings to facilitate installation.
CONDUCTOR COLORS:
Black and Red
JACKET COLOR:
Red
INSULATION:
Premium-grade, color-coded FEP.
The 16/2 Unshielded 200°C NYC Advantage:
LL39 Compliance Guaranteed: Features the mandatory NYC-certified print legend required for all fire protective signaling circuits to pass DOB electrical inspections.
Balanced 16 AWG Performance: Provides lower resistance than 18 AWG, allowing for longer circuit runs and more devices per loop without the bulk of 14 AWG wire.
200°C FEP Construction: Built with Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) insulation and jacketing, offering a massive thermal safety margin compared to standard 75°C or 105°C plenum PVC.
Ultra-Smooth Pulling: The unshielded FEP jacket is designed for low-friction installation, making it easier to navigate through crowded conduits and vertical risers.
Plenum Rated (FPLP): Certified for use in air-handling spaces and high-rise plenums without requiring conduit.
Installer’s Note:
"When you're bidding a large NYC high-rise, the 16/2 Unshielded 200°C FPLP NYC Fire Alarm Cable is your most versatile asset. It’s robust enough for most notification circuits but precise enough for addressable data loops. By choosing an LL39-certified FEP cable, you’re providing the building owner with a system that won't 'gum up' or short out during a thermal event, ensuring the life-safety network remains operational when it's needed most."

New York City requires fire alarm cables to meet specific standards beyond standard NEC rules, specifically Local Law 39 (LL39) and Local Law 5. This means the cable must feature specialized Fluoropolymer insulation (like FEP) that is strictly flame-retardant and low-smoke. These cables carry a high temperature rating (often 200°C), providing a critical safety margin for high-rise life safety systems that standard fire wire cannot match.
Unshielded: Ideal for standard notification appliance circuits (NACs), speaker circuits, and pull stations where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is not a concern. It is more flexible and faster to terminate.
Shielded: Required for data communication links (SLC loops) or installations near high-voltage lines, elevator motors, or heavy fluorescent lighting to prevent signal interference and "nuisance alarms."
In the NYC market, 16/2 Unshielded FPLP is the primary choice for:
Important Note: Consult Your Licensed NYC Electrician
While our cables are NYC Approved and manufactured to meet Local Law 39 standards, fire alarm requirements can vary based on your specific building type, occupancy, and the latest FDNY bulletins.
NYC Approved FPLP (Plenum): Must be used in "plenum" spaces (areas used for air circulation). They feature low-smoke, high-fire-resistance jackets.
NYC Approved FPLR (Riser): Used for vertical runs between floors.
Standard Practice: In NYC commercial construction, engineers almost always specify FPLP (Plenum) even for non-plenum areas to ensure maximum system survivability and compliance with Local Law 39.
The main reason to step up to 16/2 is to combat Line Loss and Voltage Drop. While 18/2 is lighter, 16/2 has a thicker copper core that carries more current over longer distances. If your run is over 100 feet, 16 AWG ensures that your strobes at the end of the line flash at the correct candela required by NYC code.
Important Note: Consult Your Licensed NYC Electrician
While our cables are NYC Approved and manufactured to meet Local Law 39 standards, fire alarm requirements can vary based on your specific building type, occupancy, and the latest FDNY bulletins.
Due to its superior fire survivability, this cable is the standard for Commercial High-Rises, Hospitals, Schools, and Industrial Facilities requiring FDNY compliance. It is built to ensure the system continues to function even under the extreme conditions of a building fire.
⚠️ Important Note: Consult Your Licensed NYC Electrician
While our cables are NYC Approved and manufactured to meet Local Law 39 standards, specific project requirements vary. Always confirm your wire gauge and circuit type with your Licensed Master Electrician or Fire Alarm Designer before purchasing.
