FIRE RESISTANT
CABLE
SAMA KEBEL SDN BHD
Application
Non-armoured fire-resistant cables are for general application in power and signal
wirings where mechanical damages are not to be expected, not only for emergency
circuits but for areas where maintaining circuit integrity and/or control of fire spread
are deemed desirable. With a high level of fire resistance, the cables are durable and
flexible enough to be pulled into conduit and trunking, and are the cost effective
alternative to standard cable wiring systems. Due to its low smoke halogen free
compound which ensures flame retardant, low toxicity and acidic gases and smoke
emission, the cables increase chances of survival during fire breakout and are ideal for
installation in existing metal conduit or trunking to update existing alarm and lighting
systems previously wired in PVC cables in the public, commercial and industrial
environments. The cables are RoHS compliance and are suitable for continuous
operation at a maximum conductor temperature of 70 oC.

Application
Armoured fire-resistant cables offer the advantages of an armoured 600/1000V rated,
low smoke halogen free cable and are for general application in power and signal
wirings, not only for emergency circuits but for areas where maintaining circuit
integrity and/or control of fire spread are deemed desirable. Due to its low smoke
halogen free compound which ensures flame retardant, low toxicity and acidic gases
and smoke emission, the cables increase chances of survival during fire breakout. The
cables are suitable for use in public, commercial and industrial environments where
maintaining life, equipment and structures are critical. The cables are RoHS
compliance and are suitable for continuous operation at a maximum conductor
temperature of 70oC.
