Fire - Rated Cables

Batt Cables

Fire rated cables are specifically designed to maintain functionality during a fire event, ensuring the continued operation of critical systems like fire alarms, emergency lighting, and smoke extractors. They are engineered with materials that resist high temperatures and prevent fire spread, while also providing circuit integrity for a specified period.

There are different levels of fire performance available, from Flame Retardancy to enhanced Fire Resistance. Flame Retardant cables are designed to prevent the spread of flames and smoke, minimising the impact of a fire. Enhanced Fire Resistance cables offer higher performance, allowing longer periods of operation. The different levels of operation are typically from 30 minutes, upto 120 minutes.

To prevent the spread of smoke, some fire-rated cables are made with materials which produce no toxic fumes when exposed to fire, enhancing safety during evacuation. These are known as LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) cables.

Batt fire resistant cables of 60 and 120 minutes performance are suitable for hazardous environments and public buildings. There cables meet the construction and testing requirements of BS 6387, for your peace of mind.

High temperature cables can operate safely from -50 to +180 degrees C, so are suitable for a variety of industrial applications. Silicone insulated and sheathed materials produce minimal smoke and fumes when exposed to fire, making high temperature cables a safe choice for engineers, contractors and specifiers. Flexible cables are to harmonised standards with UK and Europe.

Whichever fire-rated cable type you choose, you’re assured of the highest quality products and service from Batt. For more details, visit the Batt Cables website here.
