16/2 FPLP Fire Alarm Cable (16 AWG, 2 Conductor, Plenum Rated) is a high-performance low-voltage cable designed for fire alarm, signaling, and life safety systems in plenum spaces where low smoke and fire resistance are critical. Built with solid bare copper conductors and low smoke PVC materials, this cable provides safe and reliable performance in air-handling environments.
 
This cable features 16 AWG, 2 solid conductors with low smoke PVC insulation, cabled together and protected by a red low smoke PVC outer jacket. The jacket includes an integrated rip cord for easy stripping and sequential footage markings for accurate measurement during installation.
 
Rated for 300 volts and 75°C, this cable is UL and ETL listed and complies with NEC Article 760 (FPLP), NEC 800 (CMP), and NEC 725 (CL2P), making it suitable for plenum-rated fire alarm and communication installations. Its low smoke construction makes it ideal for use in air return spaces and environmental air plenums.
