Caledonian FIRETOX Cables

CABLE CONSTRUCTION
FIRETOX cables are constructed in the following typical design:
  1. Solid/stranded annealed copper conductor
   2. XLPE/LSZH as insulation
  4. LSZH/flame retardant LSFROH as sheath
FIRETOX cables are offered in either single core, multicore or multi-pair constructions.
The insulation material can be thermosetting (XLPE, LSZH) or thermoplastic (EVA, LSZH) 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 FIRETOX cables manufactured by Caledonian comply with either one or combination of the following standards.
IEC 60332-1
IEC 60332-3C
IEC 61034-1/2
IEC 60754-1

PRODUCTS

Fire Retardant PVC Sheathed Cables (FIRETOX)
Flame Retardant Optic Fiber Cables
Flame Retardant Tight Buffered Distribution Fiber Optic cables
APPLICATION
This cables are used for interconnection of distribution boxes and end devices, where continued
functionality is required during a fire situation. The cables are very suitable for various indoor and
outdoor applications, including routing between buildings within ducts and inside building up to riser
shafts.
STANDARDS
Basic design adapted to Telcordia GR409-CORE / TIA/EIA 568B.3 / ICEA-S-83-596
CABLE CONSTRUCTION
Optical fibers: Singlemode and multimode tight fibers, with tight buffer coating.
Reinforcement: Either aramid yarn or fiber glass is wound around the tube to provide physical Inner Sheath(optional): Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1
Ripcord(optional): An optional ripcord can be located under the outer sheath to facilitate jacket removal.
Armouring(optional):
STA: Corrugated steel tape armour
SWB: Steel wire braid
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1 (Thermosetting
LSZH compound type SW2-SW4 as per BS 7655-2.6 can be offered.). UV resistance, hydrocarbon
resistance, oil resistance, anti rodent and anti termite properties can be offered as option.
Physical AND THERMAL PROPERTIES
Temperature range during operation (fixed state): -20°C - +60°C
Temperature range during installation (mobile state): 0°C - +50°C
Minimum bending radius: 10 times the outer diameter for unarmoured cables
