Fire Resistant cables have been developed to maintain circuit integrity in a fire and to ensure maximum safe evacuation of personnel with no detrimental effects like toxic gases or smoke.
Fire Resistant cable may be single-core or multi-core constructions. The cable may be unarmored, armoured, braided, with or without metallic screened depending on our customer’s specific application.
These cables are designed to passed fire circuit integrity test as per BS 7629 & IEC 60331-1.
