Fire resistant cables come in a variety of types and standards.
OY Elspecta-ab Laboratory their testing whit LPCB, UL, NFPA, IEC, BS and EN Standards to ensure they meet their fire cable design criteria.
Fire resistant cableThe FP Cable range of fire resistant cable contains cables for most fire applications from a fire resistant alternative to standard cable for use in metal conduits and trunking, to more specialist cable for fire alarms, fire detection circuits and emergency lighting.
