Fire alarm cable is a low-voltage category with strict jacket ratings, and unused boxes from life safety projects are consistently sellable.
Fire alarm cable is 300 volt, 18 to 14 AWG, with jacket ratings that determine where it can be installed: FPLR for riser, FPLP for plenum, FPL for general use, and CL3R or CL3P for Class 3 circuits. Shielded versions carry signal without interference.
Because the jacket rating is printed on the cable and usually on the box, valuation is straightforward. Plenum rated FPLP generally brings the strongest price because it costs the most new and is required in air-handling spaces.
| Voltage | 300V |
|---|---|
| Size range | 18 AWG through 14 AWG |
| Ratings | FPL, FPLR, FPLP, CL3R, CL3P |
| Shield | Foil shield with drain wire on shielded versions |
| Standard | UL 1424, NEC Article 760 |
Jacket rating is the price. FPLP plenum cable can be worth several times FPL general-purpose cable of the same gauge, so check the print before you accept a bulk offer.
The number you get reflects three things: whether the construction is still in use, how much footage remains, and whether the jacket and print are intact. Everything else is secondary.
School districts, hospitals, universities and commercial fit-outs across Georgia generate fire alarm cable surplus. Low voltage contractors typically hold dozens of partial boxes after a campus project.
We reply with a range for full reels, partial spools and mixed lots, anywhere in Georgia.
Yes. Partial boxes are common and are purchased on estimated remaining footage.
Usually yes. FPLP is more expensive new and is required in plenum spaces, so it resells faster than general-purpose FPL.
Yes, as loose coils with the print visible. Untagged coils are priced more conservatively.
We buy statewide. A few of the markets where this category comes up most:
