Fire Alarm Cable In Denver, Colorado

In 2007, the National Fire Protection Association published its latest edition of the National Fire Alarm Code. Contractors in Denver, Colorado took notice since this area continues to expand with both residential and commercial construction. Although the specific requirements for fire alarm cable can vary from state to state one factor remains certain. Fire alarm cable has become the most utilized type of low voltage product in Colorado’s construction industry. 

Denver fire alarm wire is typically sold in plenum (FPLP) and riser (FPLR) constructions.  Many applications require fire alarm wire to be shielded to limit crosstalk and noise to protect the signal in case of a fire or emergency.  Fire alarm wire comes standard with a red jacket and a solid copper conductor.

Denver’s vast number of commercial construction projects has also created a demand for the striping of fire alarm cable. The NFCA does not require such striping, however many contractors have found this value added service to be extremely beneficial during the installation process. Both Plenum and PVC versions of fire alarm cable have the ability to be striped. Manufacturers offer a variety of colors in both of these products, however striping has proven to be a cost effective method for avoiding costly factory minimums.  The wholesale electrical distributors that provide striping service often offer a wide range of striping colors in order to accommodate the needs of individual projects.
