14/2 Shielded Riser (FPLR) Fire Alarm Cable
The ultimate performance choice for 2-wire circuits in electrically noisy environments, this 14/2 shielded FPLR riser-rated cable features two premium solid bare copper conductors with aluminum mylar shielding and a CMR-rated PVC jacket. The heavy-duty 14 AWG conductors deliver the lowest resistance and highest current capacity available for 2-wire applications, making this the top-tier solution for the longest notification and audio circuit runs in challenging electrical environments. The integrated 24 AWG drain wire and comprehensive shielding provide maximum protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring flawless signal integrity—all at the economical pricing of riser rating.
Proudly made in the USA with UL and ETL listings, this heavy-gauge shielded riser cable combines absolute best-in-class 2-wire electrical performance with professional-grade interference protection at a more cost-effective price point than shielded plenum for vertical runs and non-plenum installations. Sequential footage markings simplify installation tracking and reduce labor time.

Why Choose 14/2 Shielded Riser Cable?
Ultimate 2-wire shielded riser fire alarm cable offers maximum performance at economical pricing:
- Absolute best 2-wire electrical performance - 14 AWG offers the lowest resistance for 2-conductor applications
- Maximum current capacity for the most power-demanding 2-wire devices in noisy environments
- EMI/RFI protection at riser pricing - professional-grade shielding without plenum costs
- Minimal voltage drop on the longest 2-wire cable runs near interference sources
- Ultimate 2-wire value - premium heavy-gauge + professional shielding + economical pricing
- Flagship 2-wire solution for the most demanding simple circuit installations
When to use Shielded FPLR vs Shielded FPLP:
- Use Shielded FPLR (Riser): Longest 2-wire vertical runs near motors/heavy equipment, electrically noisy standard installations
- Use Shielded FPLP (Plenum): 2-wire circuits in air handling spaces with interference sources
14/2 vs 16/2 or 18/2 Shielded:
- Choose 14 AWG: Longest 2-wire cable runs, highest current demands, maximum performance requirements in noisy areas
- Choose 16 AWG: Moderate to long 2-wire runs with good electrical performance needs
- Choose 18 AWG: Standard 2-wire runs with basic electrical performance requirements
Ideal for notification circuits, audio systems, smoke detector and alarm systems in large commercial buildings, industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, and any demanding 2-wire installation where both maximum heavy-gauge electrical performance and professional-grade EMI protection are required in vertical runs or non-plenum spaces—providing the absolute best combination of current capacity and interference protection available for 2-conductor riser-rated cable at economical pricing.
