Fire Survival Cable :
Fire Survival Cables manufactured by us continue to operate for a defined period of time during a fire. The cables are known by different names in different markets including names like Circuit Integrity Cables and Fire Resistant Cables. Conventionally used in fire alarm systems, the Fire Survival Cables/ Resistant Cables have found different applications in today’s business environment for securing business critical systems in the event of an emergency. Keeping in mind the requirements of the modern day world, we have introduced low halogen, low toxic cables.

Characteristics
1. Will withstand Flame temperature of 750 degree centigrade up to 3 hours without electrical breakdown at rated voltage
2. Low halogen emission: virtually free from halogen gases.
3. Flame retardant: reduced flame spread and self-extinguishing once the flame is removed.
4. Non-flame propagation: when ignited by a flame source does not allow fire to spread even if a cable bundle is placed vertically. Cable is self - extinguishing once the flame is removed.
5. Low toxic gas emission: during fire condition small quantity of toxic gases mainly, co, co2 are inevitably emitted. Fire survival cables are designed to limit these toxic gases within safety level.
6. Low emission of corrosive gases: corrosive gases react with moisture to produce active acids which corrode metals causing extensive long term damage. Often these gases spread throughout the building through the ventilation system or within the entire installation. This is particularly damaging to electronic equipments and even to the exposed steel structures or even the concrete enclosed steel structures.
7. Reduced smoke emission: in fire condition smoke emission greatly hampers visibility to an extent that escape and rescue routes are not recognizable. This jeopardizes the safety of people in public buildings, station, airports, hotels, subways station etc.
8. High inflammability: it is preferred at high temperature the mechanical strength should be retained to a minimum level and are infusible (i.e. the insulating and sheathing material does not drip) and therefore ensure high short circuit security
