Honeywell 55541004 Fire Alarm Control Cable 14 Awg

Product Description

The HONEYWELL 55541004 is a 14 AWG, 1-pair solid shielded control cable rated for fire alarm system applications. Supplied on a 1000-foot reel in red, this cable meets FPLP and NYC certification requirements, making it suitable for use in plenum-rated and New York City-compliant installations. Bare wire terminations on both ends allow flexible field preparation for a wide range of connection types. The solid conductor construction and integrated shielding support reliable signal integrity in low-voltage fire alarm wiring circuits. Licensed fire alarm installers and low-voltage contractors are the primary trades working with this cable.

This cable is designed for use in fire alarm control circuits in residential and commercial installations. The FPLP rating qualifies it for plenum spaces such as drop ceilings and raised floors where air-handling requirements apply. The red jacket is standard for fire alarm circuit identification. A 1000-foot reel format is suited for new construction rough-in, system expansions, or large-scale retrofit projects requiring continuous runs without mid-run splices.

Key Features

• 14 AWG solid conductor construction for stable, low-resistance fire alarm signal runs
• 1-pair shielded configuration reduces electromagnetic interference in control circuits
• FPLP-rated for plenum installations per applicable fire codes
• NYC certified for use in New York City jurisdiction projects
• Red jacket provides quick visual identification as fire alarm wiring
• Bare wire ends on both ends allow field-trimmed terminations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style control cable for use with fire alarm panel systems and initiating or signaling circuits requiring 14 AWG shielded plenum-rated wire.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician or low-voltage contractor in accordance with NFPA 72 and local Authority Having Jurisdiction requirements. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow lockout procedures before making any wiring connections. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid crushing or pinching the cable during pull-through to preserve shielding continuity. Verify plenum versus non-plenum routing requirements before selecting installation pathway.
