Key Performance Characteristics
-
Certified Fire Resistance (IEC 60331): The cable is engineered to maintain circuit integrity and continue operating for a specified period under direct flame exposure, which is critical for all emergency and life-safety circuits.
-
Halogen-Free & Low Smoke Safety: Complies with IEC 60754 (halogen-free) and IEC 61034 (low smoke density). This combination minimizes the emission of corrosive gases and dense smoke during a fire, significantly enhancing personnel safety and visibility in confined spaces.
-
Superior EPR Insulation: Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) provides excellent dielectric strength, outstanding long-term thermal stability, and high flexibility, ensuring reliable and durable electrical performance.
-
High Flexibility & Lightweight: As an unarmored cable with flexible Class 5/6 conductors, it offers exceptional ease of handling, routing, and installation in conduits, cable trays, and control panels.
-
Flame Retardant: Meets IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60332-3-22 standards, inhibiting the spread of flame along the cable run.
