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 insulation (like FEP or ECTFE) that is flame-retardant and low-smoke, often with a higher temperature rating (150°C to 200°C) than standard fire alarm wire.
Unshielded: Ideal for most standard notification appliance circuits (NACs) and pull stations where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is not a concern.
Shielded: Required for data communication links (SLC loops) or installations near high-voltage lines, elevator motors, or fluorescent lighting to prevent signal interference and false alarms.
16/2 NYC Fire Alarm Cable is most commonly used for Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs). While 18 AWG is often sufficient for sensors, 16 AWG is the preferred "step up" for powering horns, strobes, and bells in New York City commercial buildings and high-rises.
In the NYC market, 16/2 cable is specifically utilized for:
NYC Approved FPLP (Plenum): Must be used in "plenum" spaces—areas used for air circulation, like above drop ceilings or under raised floors. These have a low-smoke, high-fire-resistance jacket.
NYC Approved FPLR (Riser): Used for vertical runs between floors (risers). In NYC, most commercial specs call for FPLP even in non-plenum areas for maximum safety, but check your specific building code.
Choosing 16/2 NYC Fire Alarm Cable over 18/2 typically comes down to two factors: distance and current draw. * Longer Initiating Loops: While 18/2 is standard for smoke detectors, 16/2 is the preferred choice for longer runs where signal integrity is a concern. The thicker 16 AWG copper reduces resistance, ensuring the fire alarm control panel receives a clear signal from the furthest device.
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.
