West Penn Wire 60995BSRD1000 Plenum Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 60995BSRD1000 is a 12 AWG, 1-pair shielded stranded plenum-rated fire alarm cable designed for use in fire detection and life-safety signaling systems. The plenum rating means the jacket meets the low-smoke, flame-spread requirements needed for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during routing and termination. This cable is suited for mid-capacity fire alarm panel loops and device runs where a shielded, plenum-compliant conductor is required by code or system design.

This cable is used in commercial and residential fire alarm systems, including initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and signaling line circuits where electromagnetic interference shielding is needed. It is a common choice for runs through plenum ceilings, raised floors used as return-air plenums, and other environmental air spaces. Electricians and low-voltage fire alarm installers handle this cable in both new construction and retrofit applications.

Key Features

• 12 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation and termination
• 1-pair configuration for point-to-point or loop fire alarm signaling runs
• Overall shield reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference on signal circuits
• Plenum-rated jacket meets low-smoke and flame-spread requirements for air-handling spaces
• Sold per foot or per 1000-foot reel as specified by unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-install cable for mid-capacity shielded fire alarm wiring applications requiring a plenum-rated, 12 AWG stranded conductor pair.

Installation Notes

Installation of fire alarm cable must comply with NFPA 72 and applicable local fire codes. A licensed electrician or certified fire alarm installer should handle all wiring connections to fire alarm control panels and devices. De-energize the fire alarm system and notify the monitoring station before beginning any wiring work. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable, as this can damage the shield or conductors.
