I have worked in the construction industry for more than thirty years. During this time I have worked as a carpenter, safety inspector, and electrician. Now that I am retired, I work part time as a punch out man for a large commercial contractor that specializes in building large structures. We build manufacturing facilities, barns, warehouses, schools, entertainment venues, and retail outlets. Part of my duties as a punch out man is walking through the structures at the end of the process with fire and safety inspectors and one of the major points of concern is obviously the performance of the fire warning system. Discovering that the fire alarms are not loud enough or that they do not function correctly at the end of the construction process can result in expensive repairs that involve electricians, sheet rockers, and painters. This is why any time I am asked to weigh in on the subject of fire alarms in large industrial and commercial settings, I recommend that the site foreman always selects a high quality FPLR Fire Alarm Cable. In my experience the best source of this cable for price, customer service, and reliability is http://ginelectronics.com/control-fire-alarm-audio-cable. The lower voltage needs of smaller retail outlets, schools, and other not as large structures also require a lot of planning when it comes to fire safety. This planning should begin with the architect. Unfortunately it does not always work this way. The end result of this lack of planning is often costly repair or renovation, in order to bring the structure up to code. This is why it is so important to know which fire alarm audio cable is the correct choice for the structure and this is why I advocate fire safety training and education for every individual in the construction process. In many cases these classes are available at local community colleges, and are run by professional fire safety inspectors or the local fire marshal. If this training is not available, many local fire stations will gladly set up a class. There are multiple government entities that publish informative texts on the subject of fire safety. It is imperative that construction employees are familiar with local, state, and federal regulations on the matter of fire alarms. Knowing these regulations is key to deciding whether using Power Limited Cable is appropriate or not. Having personnel familiar with fire code is also a great selling point when trying to obtain a new contract. Whatever the cable type, it is important to work with a supplier that is reliable. I use http://ginelectronics.com/control-fire-alarm-audio-cable. I am not all that computer savvy but I find this website to be easy to navigate. I am able to easily find the cable that I need and then check out without any difficulty at all. Of course, results are the most important. We have not had to do any post construction re-wiring of any fire alarm systems in over a year. In fact, we have been found to be one hundred percent compliant-free in every fire inspection in that same period of time. FPLR Fire Alarm Cable, Power Limited Cable
