Fire Resistant Cable Joints for FP Fire Performance Cables

Cable Joints for Prysmian FP400 & Fire Resistant Cables

Prysmian Fire Resistant FP400 cable joints (straight and branch) comply to BS6387 (C, W & Z categories). BS6387 specification covers the performance requirements for cables to maintain circuit integrity in fire conditions.

C=Fire Resistant 950°Celsius for 3 Hours = Cable Joint Passed
W=Fire Resistant & Water Spray 650°Celsius 15 Mins = Cable Joint Passed
Z=Fire Resistant & Mechanical Impact Test 15 Mins = Cable Joint Passed

Fire performance cable joints meet IEC 331 and are low smoke zero halogen.

The correct selection and installation of fire resistant performance cable joints ensures that in the event of a fire, emergency building services systems continue to function enabling safe evacuation through an uninterrupted power supply - appropriately jointed fire resistant cables continue to provide circuit integrity up to BS5839 specification.

Fire resistant cable joints maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions, the cable joint shell and resin is fire proof and includes earthing bonds for steel wire armoured cables.

Draka Firetuf enhanced circuit integrity performance for XLPE SWA 2, 3 and 4 core power cables meet BS7346 -6 : 2005 "Components for Smoke and Heat Control Systems - Specification for Cable Systems". The BS7346 standard defines fire performance requirements of fire rated cables in maintaining circuit integrity for life safety, fire fighting and property protection systems.
