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 essential for all emergency and life-safety circuits.
-
Superior EPR Insulation: Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) provides excellent dielectric properties, thermal stability, and long-term resistance to heat and moisture, ensuring reliable power transmission.
-
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.
-
Cost-Effective Protection: The PVC sheath provides good mechanical and environmental protection at an economical cost point for non-hazardous, protected areas.
-
Flame Retardant: Complies with IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60332-3-22, helping to inhibit the spread of flame along the cable run.
Standards & Compliance
This cable is designed and tested in accordance with key international marine and fire safety standards:
-
IEC 60092-350, 353 (General construction and requirements)
-
IEC 60228 (Conductors)
-
IEC 60092-360 (Insulation and sheath materials)
-
IEC 60331 (Fire Resistance)
-
IEC 60332-1 & IEC 60332-3-22 (Flame retardancy tests)
Typical Applications
This cable is specified for critical circuits within protected spaces where fire survival capability is required:
-
Marine & Offshore: Essential emergency circuits such as emergency lighting, alarm and detection systems, and control wiring within accommodation areas and control rooms on ships and offshore structures.
-
Industrial: Safety-critical power and control wiring in industrial control panels, power stations, and facilities where fire-resistant cabling is specified for protected internal routes.
