Belden Inc. 6320FL 002U1000 Fire Alarm Cable 18 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 6320FL 002U1000 is a 2-conductor, 18 AWG fire alarm cable rated for plenum installations under the FPLP designation. FPLP-rated cables meet the stringent low-smoke, flame-spread requirements mandated for air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings. This cable is designed for use in fire detection and signaling circuits where the wiring pathway runs through environmental air spaces. It is installed by licensed electricians and fire alarm system technicians working to local fire codes and NFPA 72 requirements.

This cable is suited for residential and light commercial fire alarm applications where plenum-rated wiring is required by the authority having jurisdiction. Typical installation scenarios include wiring smoke detectors, pull stations, and notification appliances in office buildings, hotels, schools, and multi-family residential structures where ductwork or open-ceiling plenum spaces are part of the building construction. Its FPLP rating makes it appropriate wherever standard FPL cable would not meet code.

Key Features

• FPLP plenum rating meets low-smoke and flame-spread requirements for air-handling spaces
• 2-conductor configuration for two-wire fire alarm signaling circuits
• 18 AWG conductor size suitable for fire alarm notification and detection wiring
• Listed for use in plenum ceilings and environmental air spaces per applicable fire codes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-install option for 2-conductor 18 AWG plenum fire alarm wiring applications in systems requiring FPLP-rated cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and all applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and notify the monitoring station before beginning any wiring work. Observe minimum bend radius requirements and avoid running cable parallel to high-voltage conductors where separation requirements apply. All plenum cable runs must remain accessible and properly supported per code.
