Fire Cables

Fire cables is the cable group covering alarm cables for fire detection and alarm systems and fire-resistant cables that keep operating for a set time under flame. They are used on lines between the fire panel and detectors, push buttons, sirens and strobes, and in the signal and control connections of systems that must stay live during a fire, such as emergency announcement and emergency lighting. Under Fire Alarm Cables are J-Y(St)Y and J-H(St)H type twisted-pair, foil-shielded cables, and under Fire-Resistant Cables are LIHH, LIHCH, LIH(St)H, JE-H(St)H and SIMH types; the products are sold by the meter from the Reçber, Birtaş, Mekas and Erse brands. First determine whether the line needs to operate during a fire, then choose the resistance class, the number of pairs or cores, the conductor gauge and the shield construction according to the cable requirement of the project and the panel manufacturer. FE180 expresses, in minutes, the time circuit integrity is maintained under flame in the IEC 60331 test, and PH120 the time it is maintained under flame and mechanical impact in the EN 50200 test.

How to choose Fire Cables

Fire cables is the cable group covering alarm cables for fire detection and alarm systems and fire-resistant cables that keep operating for a set time under flame. They are used on lines between the fire panel and detectors, push buttons, sirens and strobes, and in the signal and control connections of systems that must stay live during a fire, such as emergency announcement and emergency lighting.

  • Clarify the circuit duty first: power distribution, control, fire safety, Ethernet or analog signal.
  • Compare conductor cross-section, core count, insulation and shielding against the installation route.
  • Switch to the proper cable family early when flex duty, oil resistance, halogen-free jacket or fire integrity is required.
