West Penn Wire 60991BSRD1000 16 Awg Fire Alarm Plenum Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 60991BSRD1000 is a 1-pair, 16 AWG stranded unshielded fire alarm cable rated for plenum installation. This cable is constructed for use in air-handling spaces where building codes require low-smoke, plenum-rated wiring. The 16 AWG stranded conductors provide reliable signal transmission with added flexibility for routing through tight pathways. It ships in a 1000-foot configuration, making it appropriate for larger commercial and residential fire alarm system installations. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is suited for use in fire detection and notification system wiring runs within plenum-rated spaces such as above-ceiling air return plenums and raised-floor HVAC distribution areas. Its unshielded construction is appropriate for standard fire alarm signaling circuits where electromagnetic shielding is not required. Typical applications include wiring between initiating devices, notification appliances, and fire alarm control panels in commercial buildings.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and ease of termination
• 1-pair unshielded configuration for standard fire alarm signaling circuits
• Plenum-rated jacket suitable for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit in many jurisdictions
• 1000-foot reel quantity for extended wiring runs on larger projects
• Unshielded construction reduces material cost where EMI shielding is not required by design

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation cable for unshielded fire alarm signaling circuits requiring plenum-rated, 16 AWG stranded 1-pair conductors per applicable fire codes.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fire alarm contractor in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. Verify plenum rating requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before installation in air-handling spaces. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow lockout procedures before making any connections. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to maintain jacket and conductor integrity.
