Special Wire and Cable > Fire-Resistant Cable
600/1000V Advanced Flexible Control Cable
Primarily used as a power and signal transmission wiring cable, this control cable is designed for indoor, outdoor, and even damp environments. It can be securely installed in free air, ducts, masonry structures, metal structures or suspended structures — locations where, in the event of fire, people may be exposed to high concentrations of smoke, toxic gases and corrosive gases.
The cable supports emergency exits, alarm signaling, smoke indication and escalator circuits, and can also be laid directly or indirectly underground.
Key Features
Circuit Integrity Under Fire
Continues supporting emergency exits, alarm signaling and smoke indication circuits during fire, per IEC 60331-21 and BS 6387 CWZ.
Mica Tape + XLPE Insulation
Mica tape laminated onto XLPE compound insulation withstands up to 350°C short-circuit temperature.
Versatile Installation
Suitable for indoor, outdoor and damp environments — free air, ducts, masonry, metal structures, suspended runs, or direct/indirect underground laying.
Low Smoke Zero Halogen
LSZH sheath per BS 7652 §6.1 / BS 7655 §2.6 LTS3 class, with low halogen and corrosive gas emission for occupied buildings.
