Description
Wavenet FC1402URD2 Unshielded Fire Alarm 14/2 Solid Bare Copper 1000ft FPLR Red Cable (Reel)
The Wavenet FC1402URD2 Fire Alarm Cable is an enterprise-grade life-safety cabling solution engineered specifically for vertical riser shafts, addressable fire detection panels, smoke detectors, notification appliance circuits (NAC), emergency voice evacuation, and commercial security installations. Manufactured with 14 AWG solid bare copper conductors and rated FPLR (Fire Alarm Riser), this cable provides optimal electrical conductivity, minimal voltage drop, and high thermal resistance required for mission-critical fire safety circuits. Packaged on a rugged 1000-foot reel with descending sequential foot markings, it enables efficient unspooling, reduces scrap waste, and speeds installation across commercial building risers.
