Emergency Signs, Exit Lights & Fire Cable

Fire Resistant Cable

FG FRC 180

Fireguard fire performance cables are designed for augmented fire resistance in applications including the delivery of power and auxiliary control in fire alarm systems, voice alarm systems, and emergency lighting systems including those applications designed to meet BS5266. These cables will form part of the requirements of BS8519 for the installation of fire resistant power and control cable systems for life safety and fire-fighting applications.
