The ultimate performance choice in shielded riser cable, this 14/4 FPLR features four heavy-duty solid bare copper conductors with aluminum mylar shielding and a CMR-rated PVC jacket. The premium 14 AWG conductors deliver the lowest resistance and highest current capacity available in riser-rated cable, making this the top-tier solution for the most demanding 4-conductor installations in electrically noisy 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 on the longest cable runs and most challenging electrical environments—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 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 costs.

Why Choose 14/4 Shielded Riser Cable?

Top-tier shielded riser fire alarm cable offers maximum performance at economical pricing:

• Absolute best electrical performance - 14 AWG offers the lowest resistance in the riser series
• Maximum current capacity for the most power-demanding devices in noisy environments
• EMI/RFI protection at riser pricing - professional-grade shielding without plenum costs
• Minimal voltage drop on the longest cable runs near interference sources
• Ultimate riser value - premium heavy-gauge + professional shielding + economical pricing
• Commercial-grade solution for the most demanding installations

When to use Shielded FPLR vs Shielded FPLP:

• Use Shielded FPLR (Riser): Long vertical runs near motors/heavy equipment, electrically noisy standard installations
• Use Shielded FPLP (Plenum): Air handling spaces with interference sources, noisy plenums

14 AWG vs 16/18 AWG Shielded:

• Choose 14 AWG: Longest cable runs, highest current demands, maximum performance requirements in noisy areas
• Choose 16 AWG: Moderate to long runs with good electrical performance needs
• Choose 18 AWG: Standard runs with basic electrical performance requirements

Ideal for large commercial buildings, industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, hospitals, and any demanding 4-conductor 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 in riser-rated cable at economical pricing.
