About Flame Retardant Low Smoke Cables
These Flame Retardant Low Smoke Cables are insulated with special type FRLS PVC compound. These cables possess high oxygen and temperature index. Our provided cables are known for their low smoke emitting and toxic fumes suppressing properties. The properties of low smoke and acid gas generation maintain the visibility and accelerate the evacuation and rescue operation. The Flame Retardant Low Smoke Cables is suitable for use in high rise buildings, hospital, theaters, schools, and colleges etc. where the density of the people is high.
Low Smoke, Halogen Free SafetyFRLS cables drastically reduce smoke and toxic gas emissions in the event of fire, ensuring better visibility and safer evacuation. Their halogen-free construction eliminates the risk of corrosive and toxic fumes, making them ideal for public spaces, offices, and safety-sensitive installations.
Reliable Fire Protection and ResistanceTested to IEC 60332 standards, these cables offer flame retardance and fire resistance up to 90 minutes. Their oxygen index above 29% means they support enhanced fire safety, making them suitable for critical locations like hospitals, schools, and industrial sites.
Durability and ComplianceWith moisture resistance, UV protection, and a wide operating temperature range, FRLS cables are suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor conditions. Full RoHS and lead-free compliance ensures environmental safety while the robust construction guarantees long-term reliability.
FAQs of Flame Retardant Low Smoke Cables:
Q: How do Flame Retardant Low Smoke (FRLS) Cables enhance safety during a fire?
A: FRLS cables emit significantly less smoke and toxic gases compared to standard cables due to their low smoke, halogen-free insulation. This reduces the risk of suffocation and improves visibility, aiding safer evacuation and minimizing equipment damage during fires.
Q: What are the main applications of these FRLS cables?
A: These cables are suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial wiring, power distribution, and installations in fire-sensitive or public areas such as hospitals, schools, and offices. They can be used for both surface and concealed wiring, indoors and outdoors.
Q: When should I use FRLS cables over regular PVC cables?
A: Use FRLS cables when fire safety, low smoke emission, and non-toxicity are crucialparticularly in areas with high human occupancy or where vital equipment must be protected from corrosive gases during fires.
Q: Where can these cables be installed and what installation types are supported?
A: FRLS cables are designed for versatility and can be installed indoors and outdoors, either on the surface or concealed within walls. They are suitable for power supply, internal wiring, safety zones, and fire-sensitive areas.
Q: What is the process for ordering cables in custom lengths or configurations?
A: Standard lengths are 100 meters, but customization is available upon request. Customers can specify core count, size, color, and armoring requirements to suit their project needs. Distributors and manufacturers in India can assist with tailored orders.
Q: How does the flame retardance and fire resistance of the cables meet safety standards?
A: These cables pass the IEC 60332 flame test and are rated for up to 90 minutes of fire resistance, ensuring compliance with stringent international and local fire safety standards for wiring systems.
Q: What benefits do sequential marking and color-coding provide during installation?
A: Sequential marking and color-coding improve wire identification, streamline installation, and help with ongoing maintenance or troubleshooting, reducing errors and installation time in complex wiring projects.
