Safety is the name of the game for
FS Cables, the official distributor of
the Draka Firetuf range of data and
coax cables, which have passed
the requirements of LUL standard
2-01001-002.
The LUL engineering standard is
both stringent in its testing and
internationally recognised as a
benchmark for fire safety.
The LUL standard comprises tests for
flammability to BS4066: Part 3, smoke
emission to BS EN 50268 and toxic fume
emissions. In addition, both cables have
been tested for and met fire resistance
BS EN 50200:2000 and BS8434-2:2003
and achieved the required performance
of class PH120 and 120 minutes survival
time when tested to BS8434-2 for
FR enhanced cables.
The results demonstrate the Draka
Firetuf data and coax cables ability for
continued functionality in the event of
fire and ‘rubber stamps’ them as the
ideal cables for digital signalling and
CCTV in tunnel and train station
applications.
The Firetuf data range has also proved
to be the cables of choice in many
public buildings for BMS applications
and critical communication systems
where mass emergency evacuation
is required.
The low smoke Halogen free materials,
combined with the highest level of fire
resistance, provide unrivalled safety
performance.
