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, 16/4 Unshielded 200°C cable is a high-capacity "workhorse" for multi-signal and high-power applications:
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 primary difference is the gauge (thickness) of the copper and its ability to handle Line Loss and Voltage Drop over distance.
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 heat resistance and durability, this cable is the standard for Commercial High-Rises, Hospitals, Schools, and Industrial Facilities requiring maximum fire survivability and FDNY compliance. These environments use 16/4 cable to ensure:
⚠️ 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 building type, occupancy, and current FDNY bulletins. Always confirm your wire schedule with your Licensed Master Electrician or Fire Alarm Designer before installation.
