Fire Alarm Cable

Fire-resistant cable is a type of electrical cable designed to maintain its structural and electrical integrity for a specified period of time in the event of a fire. These cables are made of materials that are fire-resistant, slow-burning and are designed to prevent the spread of fire by limiting the release of toxic fumes and smoke. The use of fire-resistant cable helps to ensure the continuity of power and communication during a fire, supporting the safe evacuation of building occupants and helping the fire-fighting efforts.
