FLORIDA, N.Y., Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Remee Wire & Cable, a leading manufacturer of electrical and electronic wire and cable, is the FIRST in the wire and cable industry to have their copper PowerPipe™ cables dual listed as CL4Z and CL4P, certified to UL 1400-2 for Fault-Managed Power Systems (FMPS). A dual-listed Class 4 cable with both CL4Z and CL4P ratings gives you the highest level of installation flexibility and safety compliance in one product.
Remee’s copper PowerPipe™ dual-listed cables feature stranded tinned copper conductors, fluoropolymer insulation and jackets. These power distribution cables are available in 12, 14, 16 and 18 AWG sizes, and with 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16 conductors, and with or without shielding. They meet NEC code standards per Article 722 and 726, are dual listed for CL4Z/CL4P, certified to UL 1400-2, and meet NFPA-262 requirements for smoke and flame.
The benefits for dual-listed Class 4 cables include:
Maximum Installation Flexibility:
- CL4P (Class 4 Plenum) means the cable is listed for use in plenum pathways—areas used for air handling, like above drop ceilings or below raised floors. Also suitable for Riser (CL4R) spaces—areas that are vertical runs within a building.
- CL4Z means it’s suitable for outdoor use, direct burial , and wet location; CL4Z is also sunlight resistant.
- With both ratings, the cable is listed and can be used for Class 4 FMPS systems where cable needs to be listed for indoor and outdoor general purpose—without needing to buy different cables for each environment.
Reduced Inventory & Simplified Procurement:
- One cable covers multiple code requirements, so you don’t have to stock separate plenum-rated and riser-rated cables and can easily transition from outdoor to indoor pathways and spaces.
- Fewer SKUs to manage, which lowers purchasing complexity and risk of installing the wrong type.
Higher Safety Standards:
- Plenum rating ensures low flame spread and low smoke production in air-handling spaces.
- This can exceed local code requirements and future-proof installations if codes are tightened.
Compliance Without Guesswork:
- In mixed-use buildings, it’s common to have both plenum and riser spaces in the same run. Dual-listing ensures compliance in both without having to change cable midway.
- Eliminates rework if an inspector questions whether the installed cable meets the right fire rating for the application.
Potential Long-Term Cost Savings:
- Although dual-listed cable may cost slightly more per foot, the labor savings from avoiding multiple pulls, inventory hassles, and change orders often outweigh the extra material cost.
A dual-listed CL4P/CL4Z cable blends fire-safe plenum capability with outdoor rating in a single solution that is also suitable for Riser spaces (CL4R). This grants you optimal flexibility, stronger safety compliance, and streamlined stocking and deployment. It’s a smart choice when you’re working across diverse installation environments or planning for future modifications.
“Remee is proud to be the FIRST in the wire & cable industry to have our Class 4 copper PowerPipe™ cables dual-listed for CL4Z/CL4P.
