APPLICATION

The Mica+xlPe or sR Insulated & Overall screened Multicore Fire Resistant Instrumentation cables are designed, manufactured and tested as data transmission cables for emergency services. These are used for data and voice transmission when high frequency signal has to be assured also in the event of a fire.

STANDARDS

Basic design to BS 5308/BS 7629-1
