Fire Resistant Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation Cables (Multicore)

Fire Resistant Cable APPLICATION

The armoured LSZH sheathed Fire Resistant Instrumentation cables are generally used when the risk of mechanical damage is increased. The galvanized steel wire armour provides excellent protection. Generally, the cables are used within industrial process manufacturing plants for communication, data and voice transmission signals and services. Also used for the interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments, the LSZH sheath can reduce toxic smoke and fume emission.

Fire Resistant Cable STANDARDS

Basic design to BS EN 50288-7 (formerly BS 5308)

Fire Resistant Cable FIRE PERFORMANCE

Circuit Integrity IEC 60331-21; BS 6387 CWZ (Optional); BS EN 50200 (PH30/PH60/PH120)
Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire or cable test) IEC 60332-1-2; EN 60332-1-2
Halogen Free IEC 60754-1; EN 50267-2-1
No Corrosive Gas Emission IEC 60754-2; EN 50267-2-2
Minimum Smoke Emission IEC 61034-2; EN 61034-2

Fire Resistant Cable VOLTAGE RATING

300, 500V
