Type:

• Fire-resistant cable designed to maintain performance during fire emergencies

Construction:

• Conductor:
  • Made from copper or tinned copper for optimal conductivity
  • Stranded or solid conductor options available for flexibility and strength
• Insulation:
  • Insulated with fire-resistant materials such as LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) for flame retardancy
  • Temperature Rating: Typically rated for continuous operation in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 90°C
• Jacket:
  • Fire-resistant outer sheath to protect internal conductors from fire exposure and mechanical damage
  • LSZH, PVC, or other fire-resistant compounds for reduced smoke emissions and fire spread
• Shielding:
  • May include aluminum foil or braided copper shielding for enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal degradation

Fire Resistance Standards:

• Complies with international fire resistance standards such as IEC 60331, BS 6387, EN 50200, and UL 1424
• Rated for FIRE RESISTANCE (850°C) or more, depending on the specific type, to ensure functionality during fire scenarios

Applications:

• Emergency circuits that need to remain operational in fire conditions, including fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, safety systems, and communication cables
• Ideal for high-risk environments such as industrial plants, commercial buildings, hospitals, and power stations
• Commonly used in fire control panels, safety signaling systems, and security alarms

Performance Features:

• Flame Retardant: Cables are designed to self-extinguish, preventing the spread of fire along the cable path
• Non-toxic Smoke: Cables, especially those with LSZH insulation, are designed to emit minimal smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire
• Impact Resistance: Designed to withstand mechanical impact and abrasion during fire conditions

Voltage Rating:

• Typically rated for 300/500V or 450/750V (depending on the model and intended use)

Cable Variants:

• Available in various core counts (e.g., 2-core, 3-core, 4-core, etc.) for flexibility in different installations
• Options for armored or non-armored cables, providing additional protection against physical damage

Fire Resistance Duration:

• Designed to maintain circuit integrity for a specified period during fire exposure, such as 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or up to 120 minutes, depending on the specific standard and rating

Certification and Compliance:

• CE Marked for European safety standards
• UL-listed for safety in the United States
• Meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulations

Cable Color Coding:

• Cables are typically available with standard color coding for easy identification, such as red, black, blue, yellow, or green for different circuits
