PRYSMIAN FP200 Gold Fire Cable Red – 2CORE X 1.5 sqmm 100mtr Roll

PRYSMIAN Fire cable FP200 Gold is a ‘standard’ fire resistant cable as defined by fire alarm and emergency lighting British Standards and the original alternative to mineral insulated cable. It is a tough, durable and addressable essential systems cable – easy to install and terminate. FP200 Gold has excellent data and signal transmission characteristics which makes it ideal for voice alarm, addressable and networked systems.

Reliability at its core

The FP cable range is the result of almost 50 years of continuous development of cables for fire alarms, emergency lighting, life safety and fire fighting systems. Our fire performance cables are specifically designed to maintain circuit integrity and continue to work for a specific time under defined conditions of 30, 60, or 120 minutes. Our cables not only help save lives in a fire, but also provide greater property protection.

Prysmian FP cables are manufactured, tested and certified to a range of tests that assess circuit integrity in the event of fire to help save lives and property. Common building applications require minimum 30-minute flame tests with simultaneous impact and water spray, whereas large and complex buildings require a higher temperature flame for longer, 120 minutes, with more onerous impact and water tests.

Specify the engineers choice

Prysmian has been researching and developing high-quality, efficient fire performance cables for decades. This is even before British Standards for fire resistance became available. Fire testing lab at Eastleigh conducts over 1,500 tests a year to quality check and perfect existing and new cable. When testing fire performance cables, many elements including: fire resistance, spread of flame and smoke emission. To develop better cables that help save lives and provide greater property protection. FP is the original, easy to install and fully compliant range of fire resistant cables approved by engineers, installers and regulators.

The FP cable range

Prysmian offers an extensive range of independently tested and certified fire resistant cables. Our FP range meets the critical installation and performance criteria, delivering the highest possible quality standard. FP cables manufactured by Prysmian are designed to meet the requirements of the relevant fire tests.’Standard’ fire resistant cables are required to achieve at least 30 minutes circuit integrity when tested in accordance with BS EN 50200 AND also to BS EN 50200 ANNEX E. ‘Enhanced’ fire resistant cables are required to achieve at least 120 minutes when tested to BS EN 50200 AND also BS 8434-2. The Prysmian fire performance cable range includes FP100, FP200 GOLD, FP400, FP PLUS and FP600s.

Prysmian continues to innovate by designing new cable product ranges with enhanced fire resistance properties in response to calls for improved safety and compliance with the most stringent standards.

SeaflameTM – Setting new standards in fire resistant cables

SeaflameTM is Prysmian’s new family of fire resistant power, control and instrumentation cables. They are designed to continue to operate for an extended time in the high temperatures generated by a fire and will withstand the mechanical impacts and water sprinklers or hose jetting used to fight a fire. They do not require additional ducting or external protection so take up less space, are lighter that conventional solutions and are easier and less expensive to install and maintain.

SeaflameTM Ultra Fire Resistant Cables exceed the most rigorous international testing standards to deliver the performance our customers rely on in emergency situations. SeaflameTM will continue to operate even when exposed to a temperature of 1,050 °C for six hours and will resist the mechanical impact and water sprays / jetting experienced during offshore fire fighting.

Jet Fire Cables – Protection from offshore jet fires

Prysmian’s Jet Fire family of cables are designed to continue to operate in the extreme conditions experienced during offshore jet fires. Our new family will withstand 250 kW/m2 jet fires and withstand temperatures exceeding 1,200 °C for half an hour in accordance with ISO 22899-1.

Furthermore, Jet Fire cables will also meet the requirements of IEC 60311-21 by passing circuit integrity tests for three hours at both 750 °C and 1,000 °C.

If a Jet Fire cable is exposed to a jet fire, rapid changes in the material state will give a cooling effect, which is maintained during a fire. When the fire has been extinguished, the layer will turn into a firm, ceramic substance which provides heat insulation.
