Cable
We supply a full range of fire resistant and fire performance
cables, often also referred to as fire survival cables, fire-proof
cables, or simply fire cables. This includes our Standard and
Enhanced grade cables manufactured in accordance with British
Standards BS7629-1, BS5839, BS EN 50200 PH30 / PH60 / PH120, BS7846
and BS6387 CWZ PH120. These include BASEC-approved and
LPCB-certified cables. We also have a range of Firetec cables,
including the Power and Impact Power cables which form part of the
London Underground approved cable portfolio and appearing on the
Approved Product Register (LUL APR).
Our fire resistant cable range is designed to ensure that emergency
systems in public buildings continue to operate in some of the most
extreme fire conditions.
Fire Performance cable products
Our fire performance cables are specifically designed for augmented
fire resistance in applications including the delivery of power and
auxiliary control in fire alarm systems, voice alarm systems, and
emergency lighting systems including those applications designed to
meet BS5266. These cables will form part of the requirements of
BS8519 for the installation of fire-resistant power and control
cable systems for life safety and fire-fighting applications.
These fire resistant single core and multi-core cables are suitable
for use within a number of Control Circuit categories. For added
protection against the risk of mechanical damage, we supply robust
Firetec 'Power' and 'Impact Power' cables, both of which are
suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. The 'Impact Power' is
designed to withstand direct impact and water jet pressure.
Other fire resistant cables in our fire performance range include
Mineral Insulated copper cables (MICC), designed to offer the
ultimate fire resistance and good protection against
electromagnetic interference. These high temperature cables are
manufactured without any plastic insulation and provide circuit
integrity up to 950oC. They are also available with LSZH
oversheathing in various colour options. These cables are
principally used within hazardous and explosive environments or
where corrosive chemicals may affect performance. Those without
polymer oversheathing have ATEX approval and comply with the EU
directives on working within hazardous or explosive environments.
Important fire performance cable definitions
Fire resistant single core and multicore cables - PH30 / PH60 /
PH120 cable - fire rated
Fire proof cable duration | Applications | |
---|---|---|
PH30 | Fire rated 30 minutes | PH30 cables are suitable for emergency applications where the circuit must remain operational for up to 30 minutes |
PH60 | Fire rated 60 minutes (1 hour) | PH60 cables are used in emergency applications, in particular emergency lighting to BS5266 where longer circuit operation is required in the event of fire |
PH120 | Fire rated 120 minutes (2 hours) | PH120 cables are designed for installations requiring enhanced circuit integrity for up to 120 minutes, This includes complex or high-rise blocks of flats requiring a longer evacuation period. |
Standard fire resistance vs Enhanced fire resistance
Level | Manufacturing British standard | Applications |
---|---|---|
Standard fire resistance | BS7629-1, BS EN 50200 PH30, PH60 and PH120 | Fire resistant single core cables and multicore cables for BS5839-1 (most fire detection and fire alarm systems), BS5266 (emergency lighting and standard application circuits), and BS8519 (life safety and fire-fighting) category 1 control circuits. Where used under standard BS5839-1, standard fire-resisting cables should be considered to provide sufficient resistance to the effects of fire, with appropriate methods of support and jointing. |
Enhanced fire resistance | BS7629-1, BS8434-2, BS EN 50200 PH30, PH60 and PH120 | Enhanced fire resistant cables are used in most public or complex buildings requiring emergency systems to remain operational for a minimum of two hours (PH120) in compliance with BS8434-2 and BS8519 category 1 & 2 control circuits. They are used for unsprinklered buildings with phased evacuation, unsprinklered buildings in excess of 30 metres in height, and where the designer, specifier or enforcing authority determines it is necessary on the basis of fire risk. |
Fire resistant vs flame retardant cables
An important distinction exists between fire resistant cables and
flame retardant cables, even though both of them are subjected to
various fire performance tests in order to earn their respective
classification. In brief, flame retardant cables are designed to
resist the spread of fire into a new area. Fire resistant or fire
rated cables are designed to maintain circuit integrity and
continue to work for a specified period of time under defined
conditions. The distinction between the two is crucial when it
comes to maintaining critical circuits required for life safety or
for a safe and immediate plant shutdown.
