Wirepath SP-184-STR-1000-RD 18 Awg 4C Fire Alarm Cable

Product Description

The WIREPATH SP-184-STR-1000-RD is an 18 AWG, 4-conductor solid fire alarm cable supplied in a 1000-foot spool and finished in a red jacket for quick visual identification in fire protection systems. Solid conductors at 18 gauge provide reliable signal transmission in low-current fire alarm circuits, where consistent resistance and stable connections are critical. The red outer jacket meets standard color-coding conventions for fire alarm wiring, helping installers identify circuit type at a glance during rough-in and inspection. This cable is sold as a single spool unit.

This cable is intended for use in fire alarm and detection system wiring in residential and commercial applications. It is suited for connecting initiating devices, notification appliances, and control panel circuits where shielded, solid-conductor fire alarm wire is specified. Electricians and fire alarm system technicians install this cable during new construction and retrofit projects. The 1000-foot spool length is practical for larger runs in multi-zone systems.

Key Features

• 18 AWG solid conductors for stable resistance in fire alarm signal circuits
• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-wire fire alarm circuit topologies
• Red jacket provides standard fire alarm cable color identification
• Fire shielded construction for use in listed fire protective signaling applications
• 1000-foot spool reduces the need for mid-run splices on long cable runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fire alarm cable for 18 AWG, 4-conductor applications in conventional and addressable fire alarm systems where fire shielded solid cable is required by the system designer or authority having jurisdiction.

Installation Notes

Installation of fire alarm cable must be performed by a licensed electrician or certified fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the fire alarm control panel before making any wiring connections. Route and support cable per NEC Article 760 requirements for fire alarm circuit wiring. Do not splice conductors mid-run without listed splice connectors approved for fire alarm use.
