Carol E3514S.41.03 fire alarm cable

This Carol E3514S.41.03 cable is a plenum-rated fire alarm wire supplied on a 1000 ft reel in a box. It uses four solid 16 AWG conductors with PVC insulation and a red PVC jacket. The unshielded design meets NEC articles 725 CL3P, 760 FPLP and 800 CMP for power-limited circuits. Installers use it for alarm systems and audio systems in commercial buildings.

Replaces non-plenum cable in air-handling spaces

This cable upgrades installations that previously used non-plenum wire in ducts or return-air plenums. The jump is worth it when local code requires a CMP or FPLP rating to limit flame spread and smoke. The 300 V rating suits typical power-limited signalling circuits. It is not for applications that demand shielded pairs or stranded conductors for frequent flexing.

Solid conductors hold shape in long pulls

Under sustained installation tension the solid 16 AWG conductors resist stretching and hold their geometry through conduit bends. The 0.2 in outside diameter keeps fill ratios low in crowded raceways. The PVC jacket withstands the heat of plenum environments without degrading during the service life of the alarm system.

Questions about this item

What conduit size accommodates the 0.2 in outside diameter?

Choose conduit sized for a 0.2 in cable diameter to stay within fill limits; consult local code for exact trade size.

How is the solid 16 AWG conductor terminated, and what mistake should be avoided?

Strip each solid conductor cleanly, seat fully in the terminal, and do not over-tighten screws which can nick the 16 AWG wire.

When should the PVC jacket be inspected for replacement?

Inspect the red PVC jacket after any exposure to heat, chemicals, or physical damage; replace the cable if the jacket shows cracking or discoloration.
