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

Fire Resistant Power & Control Cables
600/1000V SR Insulated Flexibles Control Cables
FFX400 1SZ1-R(PH60)(CU/SR/LSZH 600/1000V Class 2)
FFX400 1SZ1-F(PH60)(CU/SR/LSZH 600/1000V Class 5)
APPLICATION
The cables are designed for power supply and signals trasmission, indoor or outdoor even wet environment. They are designed for fixed laying in free air, in pipe or conduit, on masonry and metal structures or suspended in places where in case of fire people are exposed to serious risks for emission of smoke, toxic and corrosive gases and where you want to avoid damage to facilities, equipment, goods. They are primarily intended for feeding of: emergency exits, alarm signals, warning of smoke or gas, escalators.
