West Penn Wire D991RD1000 16/2 Shielded Fpl Cable Red

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE D991RD1000 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor shielded FPL-rated security cable supplied in a 1000-foot reel in red jacket. FPL (Fire Power Limited) rating designates this cable for use in fire alarm and life-safety signaling circuits under NEC Article 760. The solid conductor construction provides stable, low-resistance continuity across long runs, and the foil or braid shield helps reject electromagnetic interference that could cause nuisance signals in sensitive detection circuits. Security and fire alarm installers use this cable for initiating device circuits, notification appliance circuits, and control panel wiring where a shielded, listed cable is required by the system designer or AHJ.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential fire alarm systems, access control panels, and security signaling applications where NEC Article 760 FPL compliance is specified. The red jacket is the conventional color coding for fire alarm wiring, making circuit identification straightforward during rough-in, inspection, and service. The 1000-foot put-up is a standard field reel size for security and low-voltage contractors pulling multiple zones on a job.

Key Features

• 16 AWG solid conductors for low-resistance, stable signal runs
• 2-conductor configuration for single-circuit initiating or notification wiring
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference on sensitive alarm circuits
• FPL rating meets NEC Article 760 requirements for fire alarm cable installations
• Red jacket follows fire alarm industry color convention for easy circuit identification
• 1000-foot reel put-up suits standard commercial and residential security installs

Compatibility

Designed as an FPL-rated shielded security cable for use in fire alarm, life-safety, and access control signaling systems where 16 AWG 2-conductor shielded cable is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or fire alarm contractor in accordance with NEC Article 760 and local AHJ requirements. De-energize the control panel and all associated circuits before making any terminations. Maintain the shield continuity and verify proper drain wire grounding at the panel end per the system manufacturer instructions. Avoid routing FPL cable in the same conduit or bundle as power-limited and non-power-limited circuits unless permitted by code.
