Fire Resistant & Flame Retardant Cables

Fire Resistant Cables and Wires
Fire safety is one of the top priorities in today’s building infrastructure safety.  A fire once spread out of control, can quickly cause extensive damage to the property and ultimately to human lives.  Ideally, all measures should be in place to ensure that a fire never occurs, but in the event that a fire has been ignited, every precaution should already be in place to ensure that it is contained quickly.  This is where Tai Sin’s Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), Flame Retardant and Fire Resistant Cables come into play.

These cables are manufactured with plain annealed solid or stranded copper strands.  The conductors are protected with a fire barrier tape and are insulated with either a LSZH thermosetting compound or XLPE.  The multicores are laid together and protected with an inner sheath of LSZH material, armoured with steel round wires for multicores or aluminium wires for single core and finally protected by an outer layer of LSZH material.  Non-armoured cables are without the additional inner sheath and armouring.  LSZH sheathing of all these cables are UV protected.  This range of FR Cables are available with a voltage rating of 600/1000V and are manufactured to BS 7211 (Single Core Wiring), IEC 60502-1 (Non-Armoured) and BS 7846 (Armoured).

Range : 1C x 1.5mm2 to 1C x 1000mm2 (Single Core Wiring)

Range : 1C x 10mm2 to 1C x 1000mm2, 2C x 1.5mm2 to 4C x 500mm2 (Armoured)

Range : 1C x 1.5mm2 to 1C x 1000mm2, 2C x 1.5mm2 to 4C x 500mm2  (Non-armoured)


Fire Performance Standards Achieved

Fire Resistant Cables for Emergency Circuits

Tai Sin’s FRA-XOL Cables are designed to meet the requirements as described in BS 5839-1:2002+A2:2008, clause 26.2d.  This range also meets the PH120 class when tested in accordance with BS EN 50200:2006 Annex E and the 30 minutes survival time when tested in accordance with BS 8434-2:2003+A2:2009.  In addition, the cable also complies with BS 6387 Cat. C.W.Z.

These cables are manufactured with plain annealed copper in either solid or stranded form.  The conductors are protected with a fire barrier tape and are insulated with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) thermosetting compound.  The cores are held together with a laminated aluminum tape screen which is bonded together with a LSZH sheath and at the same time comes into contact with a tinned copper conductor which acts as a circuit protective conductor and as a screen drain wire.  These cables are manufactured to meet the requirements of BS 7629-1:2008.

Range : 2 cores to 4 cores; 1.0mm2 to 4.0mm2

Range : 7 cores; 1.0mm2 to 2.5mm2

Range : 12 cores; 1.5mm2 to 2.5mm2

Range : 19 cores; 1.5mm2
