Manufactured with 18 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePhysical Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse;
