Summar
y
Fire performance cables are designed to maintain circuit integrity for a determined
period of time in a fire situatio
These cables are Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH / LSOH) types
Cable test standards simulate fire situations and measure survivability of the
cables Codes of practice determine what cable performance is required for each
application
Pliable cables have replaced traditional MI types in all but the very toughest of
environments www.elandcables.com
