The 18/2 Shielded FPLP NYC Approved Fire Alarm Advantage:
LL39 Compliance Guaranteed: Printed with the mandatory NYC-certified legend to ensure your project passes DOB electrical inspections without hesitation.
100% Shielded Signal Integrity: Features an aluminum/polyester foil shield and tinned copper drain wire to block EMI/RFI interference from lighting ballasts and wireless networks.
200°C FEP Construction: High-performance Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) insulation ensures the signal continues to flow even when temperatures spike during an emergency.
Slim, High-Flex Profile: The 18 AWG construction is easy to fish through crowded conduits and terminates quickly in compact device back-boxes.
Plenum Rated (FPLP): UL-listed for air-handling spaces and high-rise plenums, eliminating the need for conduit in many interior runs.
Installer’s Note:
"When you're installing an addressable system in an NYC building full of wireless tech and heavy machinery, the 18/2 Shielded FPLP NYC Approved Fire Alarm Cable is your best defense against 'ghost' troubles and false alarms. By using an LL39-certified shielded FEP cable, you’re ensuring that sensitive data loops stay clean and the system remains fully operational, even in the harshest thermal and electrical conditions."

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.
18 AWG is the most common size for Initiating Device Circuits (IDCs). This includes smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual pull stations. It is ideal for addressable fire alarm loops where current demand is relatively low.
While 18/2 can be used for shorter runs, many NYC contractors prefer 16/2 or 14/2 for Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) to prevent voltage drop over the long distances common in NYC high-rises.
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.
