What is Type FCC cable designed for?

Type FCC cable, commonly referred to as Flat Communication Cable, is specifically designed for use under carpet squares. This particular design is intended to provide a low-profile solution that can easily be installed in environments where space is a constraint and aesthetics are a consideration.

The characteristics of Type FCC cable, such as its flat profile, make it ideal for installation in areas where it needs to lie flat without creating a tripping hazard or bulging significantly above the surface. This is particularly relevant in commercial spaces with carpeted flooring, where the cable can be discreetly laid underneath without compromising the look of the environment or creating obstructions.

In contrast, while other types of cables may be suitable for different applications such as general indoor use, outdoor exposure, or industrial environments, those purposes would not be appropriate for Type FCC cable as it is optimized for the specific context of installation under carpet.
