Caledonian FIREGUARD Cables

CABLE CONSTRUCTION
FIREGUARD cables are constructed in the following typical design:
  1. Solid/stranded annealed copper conductor
   2. Glass mica tape/silicone rubber as flame barrier
  3. XLPE/PVC as insulation
  4. Normal or Flame retardant FRPVC as sheath
FIREGUARD cables are offered in either single core, multicore or multi-pair constructions.
The insulation material is usually PVC with different levels of fire retardance properties to meet different stringent environment requirement. The cables may be armoured or braided, with or without metallic screen, depending on different applications.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD
The FIREGUARD cables manufactured by Caledonian comply with either one or combination of the following standards.
IEC 60332-1
IEC 60332-3C

PRODUCTS

Fire Retardant PVC Sheathed Cables (FIREGUARD)
Flame Retardant Data Cables
CAT5e CWB/SWB/SWA Armoured Data Cables
APPLICATION
Cat5E is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocol, suitable for basic voice
and data installations up to 100 MHz. In addition, these cables can be offered with copper wire
braid armoured & flame retardant outer sheath, providing additional mechanically protection still
maintaining the flexibility of the cable.
STANDARDS
Basic design adapted to EN50173
VOLTAGE RATING
60V
CABLE CONSTRUCTION
Conductors: 24AWG solid bare copper.
Insulation: HDPE.
Twinning: Two coloured insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair.
Inner Sheath: Flame retardant, low smoke and halogen-free polyolefin, coloured black.
Armouring:
cwb: copper Wire Braid
swb: Steel Wire Braid
swa: Steel Wire Armour
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic PVC compound. UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance,
anti rodent and anti termite properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance
standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL 1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the
PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can also be provided upon request.
Cat5E F/UTP: These cables have collective shielding of aluminium/Polyester tape with drain wire.
Cat5E SF/UTP: These cables have double collective shieldings of aluminium/Polyester tape &
copper wire braid.
