About this file
This document is a technical specification sheet for Fire Alarm Control Cable – Type MC, a dual-rated plenum cable manufactured by AFC Cable Systems. The cable is designed for fire detection and alarm systems, with specifications including solid copper conductors using TFN (18 and 16 AWG) or THHN (14 and 12 AWG) insulation, an interlocked galvanized steel strip armor painted red, and a polyester assembly tape. The cable is rated for maximum temperatures of 105°C (FPLP) or 90°C (MC), with a maximum voltage rating of 300V (FPLP) or 600V (MC).
The technical specification provides detailed performance charts covering electrical properties such as reactance, resistance, effective impedance, mutual capacitance, and inductance. The cable meets various industry standards including UL certifications, NEC requirements, and NFPA 262 plenum rating. Product codes are provided for different conductor configurations, including 2-6 conductor options with various color combinations, and the cable is designed for use in fire alarm and control applications, particularly for fishing between walls in electrical installations.
