Fire alarm systems and codes have become incrementally more complex with the advent of voiceover commands, emergency notification advancements, and the proliferation of smart devices. AFC Cable Systems has announced the launch of its Power Limited Fire Alarm Cable, mechanically protected with low-smoke PVC jacketed individual pairs for easy installation.

Its multiple copper conductors make the Power Limited Fire Alarm Cable ideal for fire alarm wiring or remote control hook-ups connecting a main fire alarm control panel with pull stations, smoke detectors, and audio/visual alarms.

The Power Limited Fire Alarm Cable is UL approved so it does not need to be installed with additional mechanical protection. The steel armour protects the integrity of the cable, eliminating disruption and kinks in installation and reducing call backs.

The cable is fully plenum-rated for all installations up to 300 volts and is colour-coded red for quick identification. The AFC Cable Systems fire protection line can be manufactured based on contractors’ exact specifications and coding requirements to help the contractor do it right the first time.

Additional benefits include:

Available in type FPLP or dual-rated type metal clad (MC)/FPLP.
Maximum continuous operating temperature ranging from -10 to +75°C.
Available with twisted shielded pairs, the Fire Alarm Cable features superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding compared to aluminium armour.
