Prysmian FP100FP100 Cable

Prysmian FP100® is the original fire resistant single core cable for use in metal conduits or trunking to achieve a highly robust fire resistant wiring system. It maintains circuit integrity during a fire both when tested in free air or in a metallic conduit. When burnt, it produces very low levels of smoke and virtually no (less than 0.5%) acidic gases, thus safeguarding human life and protecting equipment.

Through the use of a dual layer insulation system, FP100® offers fire resistance combined with abrasion and damage resistance, making it an excellent choice both for upgrading existing conduit based systems to current essential safety circuit standards or new installations.

Systems based upon standard pvc cables, even when protected by metal conduit, have been shown to fail within minutes in a fire. Therefore they are no longer permitted by BS5839-1 or BS5266-1for fire alarm or emergency lighting systems, as they do not ensure prolonged operation in the event of a fire.

This cable has a maximum core temperature of 90oC and is used in fire alarm systems, emergency lighting and in power safety circuits when installed in conduits or protected trunking.
