Fire Resistant Signal & Data Cables

Fire resistant FTP Cat 3 Data Cables

FFX-CAT3FTPXP22FR

Application

The cables are desgined for structure wiring, compatible with all known connection systems according to EN

50173. Based on the design for structured wiring (found in IEC 61156 and BS EN 50288), this cable brings

together high frequency data transmission and circuit integrity in a one pair, two pair and four pair cable that will

continue to transmit data even when being directly attacked by fire.

Cable Construction

Conductors: Plain annealed copper wire, sized 0.64mm and solid according to IEC(EN) 60228 class 1.

Insulation: PE wrapping with fire resistant silicone rubber compound type EI2 as per BS 7655-1.1.

Cabling Elements: Insulated cores are twisted to form pairs with varying lay length to minimize crosstalk. Two-

pair cable had four cores laid in quad formation.

Cabling: Pairs are cabled together in concentric layer.

Overall Screen: Aluminum/polyester tape with tinned copper drain wire

Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1 (Thermosetting LSZH compound

type SW2-SW4 as per BS 7655-2.6 can be offered.)

Colour Code:

Sheath Colour: Red, white or black
