Caledonian fireflix Cables
CABLE CONSTRUCTION
fireflix 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/silicone rubber as insulation
4. LSZH/Flame retardant RPVC as sheath
fireflix cables are offered in either single core, multicore or multi-pair constructions.
The insulation material can be elastomeric (EPR, SR), 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 fireflix cables manufactured by Caledonian comply with either one or combination of the following standards.
BS 6387
IEC 60331
IEC 60332-1
IEC 60332-3C
IEC 61034-1/2

CABLE CONSTRUCTION
Conductor: Plain annealed copper wire, stranded according to IEC(EN) 60228 class 2.
Insulation: Mica glass tape covered by extruded cross-linked XLPE compound or fire resistant silicone rubber compound type EI2 as per BS 7655-1.1.
Cabling Elements: Insulated cores are twisted to form pairs with varying lay length to minimize crosstalk. Two-pair cable had four cores laid in quad formation.
Cabling: Pairs are cabled together.In cables with 8 pairs or more, 4 pairs are assembled to form a bunch, the bunches are then cabled together.
Individual Screen: Aluminum/polyester tape with 0.5mm2 screen (7/0.3mm) tinned copper drain wire.
Overall Screen: Aluminum/polyester tape with 0.5mm2 screen (7/0.3mm) tinned copper drain wire.
Inner Sheath(optional): Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1 Armouring(optional): Galvanized steel wire armour
