01
Fire alarm cable we review
What this family covers and what identifies it.
Fire alarm cable is 14 to 18 AWG, two to six conductors, with FPL, FPLR or FPLP jackets depending on the space it runs through. Shielded versions serve addressable loops.
Texas fire protection contractors and electrical firms hold partial boxes and reels. The jacket rating is the first fact in any review.

Specification checklist
The facts that decide how a lot is evaluated.
- RatingsFPL general, FPLR riser, FPLP plenum.
- Sizes14, 16 and 18 AWG, two to six conductors, shielded and unshielded.
- Packaging500 and 1,000 foot boxes and reels.
Send what the reel says. A printed legend and a reel tag are stronger evidence than a description written from memory. If a detail is unknown, mark it unknown rather than guessing.

Constructions we buy
Reviewed separately, because they are valued separately.
Riser and plenum stock
FPLR and FPLP cable, which serve spaces where general cable cannot.
04
How a lot is evaluated
Construction, condition, documentation, quantity and logistics.
Send the rating, gauge, conductor count and remaining length. FPLP and FPLR price differently from general FPL because of where they may be installed.
Life-safety cable carries listing requirements. A reel with no legible rating is difficult to place for new work, whatever its condition.
Safety first. Never cut, strip, disconnect or move energised cable to prepare a sale. De-energising and proving dead is work for qualified personnel under the site's electrical safety programme.

Fire alarm cable questions
Answered for sellers, not for search engines.
Does the jacket rating change value?
Yes. Plenum and riser ratings widen the permitted installation, which supports a higher basis.
Do you buy shielded fire alarm cable?
Yes, including addressable loop cable.
Can cable with a damaged jacket be sold?
Only as recovery material. Life-safety cable with a breached jacket cannot be reinstalled.
