Electrical cable needs to transport electricity from one point to another.
That is its primary function. But where it is going to be installed? What is its final application?
Electrical cable comes in a huge range of different configurations suitable for multiple end uses. Including for the application in Fire & Security Systems.
FP Cable is a specific electrical cable type designed with a fire protection rating. FP is short for Fire Performance and has the ability to resist fire while continuing to operate and transport electricity from one point to another.
This is of particular importance where electrical devices such as fire alarms and emergency lighting systems need to continue operating even during a fire.
FP200 is recognised as the leading type of electrical cable used in the Fire Industry. It meets the requirements of current British Standards and is ideal for use in fire detection systems, emergency lighting and smoke alarm systems which require constant circuit integrity in the event of a fire.
