Zero Halogen, Low Smoke (OHLS®) cable, maintaining circuit integrity when exposed to fire. Meeting the Enhanced category of BS 5839-1:2002. Manufactured to BS 7629-1. Tested and approved by LPCB and BASEC.
Firetufplus has been specially designed to meet the Enhanced requirements detailed in BS 5839-1:2002, Clause 26.2e. It therefore meets the PH120 class, and additionally meets the requirements for integrated water spray and mechanical shock also described in Clause 26.2e, and detailed in BS 8434 Part 2:2003:
60 mins - fire and mechanical impact, followed by
60 mins - fire, mechanical impact and water
Firetufplus achieves the Enhanced performance, whilst retaining all the advantages associated with a pliable cable. These include:
• Lower termination costs
• No special tools or training
• Ease of handling and installation
• Available in long lengths
• Twisted core construction to improve signal clarity
• Suitable for use in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas
Firetufplus achieves the Enhanced performance by application of state of the art materials technology, providing advanced resistance to fire and heat, enabling the maintenance of circuit integrity through this most onerous testing protocol.
