Standard & Enhanced Fire Cables
to Standard & Enhanced Fire Cable datasheets
Eland Cables supplies a comprehensive fire performance cable portfolio including Standard grade and Enhanced grade fire resistant control cables to cable design standard BS7629-1 (as described in BS8519), available for next-day delivery from stock. These cables are BASEC approved, and we supply LPCB certified products that meet testing standards including EN 50200 (PH30 and PH60 for standard, PH120 for enhanced, Annex E for standard fire, impact and water), and BS6387 (category C,W,Z). .
Standard & Enhanced Fire Cable Specification
Sheathed in a soft-skin Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) thermoplastic compound, they have applications including as voice alarm cables, fire alarm cables and as emergency lighting cables. In accordance with BS5839-1, the Standard Fire Resistant Cable is generally used for single phase evacuation buildings, insulated with high performance silicone rubber, whereas the Enhanced Fire Resistant cable, with its mica glass tape layer wrapped around the conductor providing an additional fire barrier, can be used in instances requiring further prolonged use.
More information
The Standard and Enhanced grade fire resistant cables meet a wide range of British, European and International fire performance standards.
