Fire Survival Cables (also known as fire-resistant or fire-rated cables) are designed to maintain circuit integrity and continue functioning for a specified period during a fire. These cables are used in critical applications where power and communication must be sustained during emergency situations.

Key Features of Fire Survival Cables :


Fire survival cables are designed to maintain circuit integrity during a fire, ensuring continued operation of emergency systems like alarms, lighting, and evacuation equipment.

  • Fire Resistance : They can withstand high temperatures (up to 950°C or more) and continue operating during a fire.

  • Low Smoke & Zero Halogen (LSZH) : They produce minimal toxic smoke and no halogen gases, reducing risks to people and equipment.

  • Circuit Integrity : Fire-rated cables maintain electrical function for a specified duration, typically 30, 60, or 120 minutes, based on standards
    like BS 6387, IEC 60331, and UL 2196.

  • Mechanical Strength : Designed to resist mechanical impact, water, and fire simultaneously.

  • Chemical Resistance : Some variants offer resistance to oil, acids, and other corrosive substances.

  • Insulation & Sheathing Materials : Uses Mica tape, Ceramic silicon, or mineral insulation for fire resistance. Outer sheaths made of LSZH compounds.


Types of Fire Survival Cables :


Fire survival cables are specialized cables designed to maintain circuit integrity and continue functioning during a fire. They are commonly used in emergency systems such as fire alarms, emergency lighting, power supply to fire pumps, and evacuation systems.

Below are the main types of Fire Survival Cables :

  • Fire-Resistant (FR) Cables : Copper or aluminum conductors with fire-resistant insulation and a protective sheath. Maintains circuit integrity for a specified duration under fire conditions. Flexible, easy to install, and cost-effective. Used in Fire alarm systems, smoke control systems, and emergency lighting.

  • Fire-Resistant Low Smoke Zero Halogen (FRLSZH) Cables : Halogen-free insulation and sheath with fire-resistant properties. Retains functionality in fire situations while emitting low smoke and no toxic halogens. Reduced smoke and toxicity, better for human safety in enclosed spaces. Used in Airports, hospitals, metro stations, and commercial buildings.

  • Flame-Retardant (FR) Cables : Special flame-retardant materials in insulation and sheath. Slows down the spread of fire. Prevents fire propagation and improves fire safety. General power wiring in buildings and industrial plants.

  • Enhanced Fire-Resistant (Enhanced FR) Cables : Upgraded insulation and sheathing for prolonged fire survival. Can withstand fire exposure for extended durations (typically 120 minutes or more). Greater durability in high-risk environments. Used in High-rise buildings, tunnels, and critical infrastructure.


Fire Survival Cables application industries :


Fire survival cables are designed to maintain circuit integrity in the event of a fire, ensuring continued power supply for critical systems. These cables are commonly used for emergency lighting, fire alarm systems, sprinkler control, public address systems, and power supply to essential equipment in case of a fire.

  • Construction & Infrastructure ( High-rise buildings, Hospitals, Airports, Shopping malls, Hotels and commercial complexes)

  • Energy & Utilities (Power plants, Oil & gas refineries, Substations, Renewable energy installations (solar, wind)

  • Transportation (Railways and metro stations, Tunnels, Airports, Ports and shipyards)

  • Industrial & Manufacturing ( Chemical plants, Steel and cement factories, Automotive and aerospace facilities)

  • Public Safety & Emergency Services (Fire stations, Police stations, Data centers, Disaster recovery facilities)

  • Defense & Security (Military bases, Ammunition storage facilities, Secure command centers)

  • Telecommunications & Data Centers (IT hubs and server rooms, Broadcast stations, Network operation centers)
