Asenware Fire Proof Alarm Cable

Description

Asenware Fire Proof Alarm Cable

key characteristics and features

Circuit integrity: As a “fire-resistant” or “circuit integrity (CI)” cable, it is built to continue transmitting power and signals for a specified period during a fire. This allows emergency systems like fire alarms, smoke detectors, and emergency lighting to work for an extended time, aiding safe evacuation.

Flame retardant: The cable is constructed with fire-retardant materials to prevent flames from spreading along its length. If the external heat source is removed, the cable will self-extinguish.

High-quality construction: Asenware cables are typically constructed with an oxygen-free or tinned copper conductor, which improves heat resistance and durability

Advanced insulation and jacketing

• • Insulation: The core wires are insulated with fire-resistant silicon or cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE).
  • Sheath: The outer jacket is commonly made from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) or fire-retardant PVC. An LSZH sheath is particularly important for public spaces, as it produces minimal toxic gases and smoke when burned, preventing harm to occupants and limiting damage to sensitive electronic equipment.

Shielding: Many versions of Asenware fireproof cable include aluminum foil shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI). This ensures clear and reliable signal transmission for the fire alarm system.

Compliance with standards: Asenware fireproof cables are manufactured to comply with international safety standards, such as BS 7629-1, BS 6387, and IEC 60331-3.
