My understanding is that type FPL cable can be run above 7' in free air as long as it's properly supported. If it's in a plenum space, it must be FPLP cable.

The scope of UL 1424, (available on line at http://ulstandardsinfonet.ul.com/scopes/1424.html) paragraph 1.7 specifically states: "As noted in 1.8, "Power-limited fire-alarm circuit cable" is used with protection such as raceway.

Paragraph 1.8 specifically states: "Power-limited fire-alarm circuit cable" is used: a) In nonconcealed spaces in which the exposed length of cable does not exceed 10 ft. or 3.05m, and b) In raceway.

My question is whether or not UL 1424 implements a requirement to install power-limited fire-alarm circuit cable, types FPL and FPLR, occurring above a ceiling in conduit?
