Fire Resistant Cables

In all fire disasters, fire smoke, heat and toxic fumes are the main obstacles to safe evacuation of a building or area. A major contribution towards overcoming these hazards is the use of fire resistant and non-halogenated cables.

• Fire resistance
• Long-term circuit integrity in a fire
• Low smoke and toxic gas emissions
• Flame retardant properties
• Zero halogen gases
• Ease and low cost of installation

KEI Fire Resistant cable 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.

The Fire Resistant cable are constructed in the following typical format

• Stranded / Flexible Annealed Copper Conductor
• Mica Tape Fire Resisting Barrier
• XLPE/EPR/EVA as Primary Insulation Material.
• Flame Retardant LSZH, PVC as Bedding or Sheathing Material.

The Fire Resistant cable may categorized by a letter symbol (e.g. A) or series of symbols (e.g. CWZ) in according to the requirements for fire resistance characteristics which they meet, the test temperature selected and the duration of the test for resistance to fire alone in according to BS 6387 as below
