FSC Global - Enhanced Grade Fire Alarm Cables

BS8434 : 2 Enhanced Grade Fire Alarm Cables

The Enhanced grade of fire alarm cables are suitable for installations where evacuation may be delayed, for example hospitals, tunnels, and high rise buildings. Enhanced soft skin fire alarm cables are able to compete with traditional MICC (Mineral Insulated Copper Clad) in fire performance whilst reducing installation time and costs.

We are able to offer many brands including Draka Firetuf Plus, IDH Kilflam 3000, Prysmian ( Pirelli ) FP Plus & Nexans Alsecure NX 200 Plus. Just specify when you call for a quote.

At FSC we refer to LSHF as Low Smoke Halogen Free

This term is interchangeable with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), OHLS (Zero Halogen Low Smoke) and FRNC (Flame Retardant Non-Corrosive). Beware of the terms LSF (Low Smoke and Fume) or RP (Reduced Propogation), when relating to signal or control cables will normally be modified PVC and produce 'Loads of Smoke and Fume'!
