Feature

 

14/2 fire alarm mc cable

 

UL 18/2 Fire Alarm MC (Metal Clad) cable is a cable specially designed for fire alarm systems and meets UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification standards. The "18/2" indicates that the cable contains two 18-gauge (AWG) wires, which are suitable for the transmission of low-current signals and are usually used for the connection between fire alarm controllers and detectors.
UL 18/2 Fire Alarm MC Cable uses interlocking galvanized steel tape (painted red) to provide excellent mechanical protection against physical damage and external environmental influences. The conductor inside the cable is made of solid copper wire to ensure excellent conductivity, while its conductor insulation uses TFN 18 AWG and 16 AWG and THHN 14 AWG and 12 AWG, which have good heat and corrosion resistance.

FAQ

 

Q: What is the standard cable for a fire alarm MC cable ?

A: 1. UL 1424 is a standard specifically for fire alarm cables, which mainly covers how cables continue to work in the event of a fire. Cables that meet the UL 1424 standard are generally fire-resistant and can continue to transmit signals during a fire, ensuring that the fire alarm system can respond in a timely manner.
2. UL 1569 applies to MC cables (Metal Clad Cables), which are metal sheathed cables. This standard specifies the requirements that MC cables must meet during the design and manufacturing process to ensure that the cables meet relevant requirements in terms of fire resistance and resistance to mechanical damage.
Therefore, if MC cables are used in fire alarm systems, other properties of the cable (such as fire resistance) are usually required to be confirmed, so it is necessary to ensure that it meets the requirements of UL 1424, or choose a version with additional fire protection properties according to actual needs

Q: Can MC cables be used for a fire alarm?

A: Fire alarm systems often require cables that are fire-resistant and heat-resistant. While the metal sheath of MC cable provides some fire protection, its insulation and overall construction may not meet some of the more stringent fire standards. Typically, fire alarm cables use more specialized fire-resistant cables, such as Fire alarm MC cable or Fire-resistant Cable, which can maintain normal operation for a longer period of time in the event of a fire..
