A new range of fire survival fibreoptic
cable is available from the AMP
Netconnect business unit of Tyco
Electronics.
Designed for use in missioncritical areas where signal continuity during a fire is required, the cable combines rodent-resistant glass yarns with an inner universal low smoke zero halogen (ULSZH) jacket, corrugated steel tape armour and an outer ULSZH jacket.
The cable is tested in accordance with IEC 60331-25: circuit integrity, and is able to maintain a signal while being subjected to flame temperatures of 750°C for 90min.
The cable is also compliant with the following standards: IEC 60794 - optical fibre cable, IEC 60332 parts 1 and 3C - tests on optical fibre cables under fire conditions, IEC 61034 - smoke density, IEC 60754 - halogen acid gas emissions, and ISO 11801 - generic cabling for customer premises.
