Fire Resistant Cable

Fire Resistant Cable

Fire Resistant Cable for critical circuits requiring fire-resistance review.

Fire Resistant Cable is selected where circuit integrity under fire conditions and recognized fire-resistance test routes are part of the project requirement.

  • Key Technical Points:
  • Fire-resistant cable should be selected only when circuit integrity under fire is required.
  • IEC 60331, BS 6387 or project fire test route must be confirmed before final wording.
  • Conductor, mica tape, insulation and sheath construction should follow the required fire-resistance route.
  • This wording should not be mixed with simple flame-retardant or LSZH-only requirements.
  • Product Overview

    Fire Resistant Cable should be selected according to the actual project route, not by product name alone. Before quotation, review application environment, performance standard, construction route, installation condition and required project documents. Datasheet wording, compliance documents and final supply notes should stay aligned with the selected standard and installation conditions.

    Applications

    • emergency power and critical circuits requiring circuit integrity under fire conditions
    • public buildings, transport facilities, tunnels and infrastructure electrical systems
    • fire alarm, smoke control, emergency lighting or life-safety related routes where specified
    • projects requiring IEC 60331, BS 6387 or equivalent fire-resistance documentation

    Construction

    Copper conductor with fire-resistance construction such as mica tape and suitable insulation/sheath system according to the required test route. Final design should be reviewed against IEC 60331, BS 6387 or project-specific circuit integrity requirements.

    Marking on Cable

    FARWALK CABLE – Fire Resistant Cable – [standard] – [voltage/rating] – [size] – [year] – [meter mark]

    Cable Identification

    • Cable identification, sheath color and core marking should follow the project application and standard route.

    Standards

    • IEC / BS / UL project standards
    • application-specific technical requirements

    Main Features

    Circuit Integrity Focus

    Fire-resistant cable is used when circuits must continue operating for a specified time under fire conditions.

    Emergency System Use

    Suitable for fire alarms, emergency lighting, smoke control and critical building safety circuits.

    Test Standard Alignment

    For Fire Resistant Cable, IEC 60331, BS 6387 or local fire-performance requirements should be confirmed before quotation.

    Product Selection Guide

    Application First

    Confirm whether the project requires fire survival, flame retardance, LSZH, submersible, EV, rail or composite cable.

    Performance Test

    Match IEC 60331, IEC 60332, BS 6387, BS 7211 or other requested tests to the actual project requirement.

    Installation Environment

    Review heat, water, smoke, oil, movement, vibration or public-safety conditions before choosing materials.

    Document Requirement

    Confirm datasheet, test report, sample, marking and packing requirements before quotation.
