Description

Radox Fire Rated Telephone Cable 2 pair x 0.37mm

RADOX CABLES announce a first in communication cable technology with the new Austel approved fire rated telephone, data and security cable. Security from fire, fire and water spray and mechanical shock is guaranteed. Owners, occupiers and tenants will value a secure telephone and modem data system fully tested to International Fire Standards, AS3013, BS6387- Cats. C.W.Z and IEC331.

For the first time, any normal telephone system can be turned into a secure fire rated data and telephone system by just replacing the standard PVC telephone cable with RADOX FR telephone and data cable.

This new tested and proven system is IDC (Krone) compatible ,easy to install and available in 2 pair to 100 pair configuration.

RADOX FR telephone cables are flame retardant, halogen free, high temperature resistant to 125°C, emit no corrosive gases and virtually no smoke in fire, making them ideal for use in sensitive areas like computer centres.

Fire rated telephone and data security cables mean any telephone becomes an emergency communication point. Two way telephone communication is user friendly which is especially important during emergencies. Individual checking of rooms, or room to room communication to ensure people are evacuated safely becomes a reality.

Remote control rooms are assured of communication continuity with clear tested data transmission. Security of data transmission is increasingly valuable,
especially in buildings with hi-tech or financial tenants where seconds can mean millions of dollars. In the same way during fire, seconds can mean lives. RADOX FR telephone and data cables provide now what buildings of the future will take for granted.

Typical Applications

High rise: Trunk riser cabling to each tenant and floor (no need for fire rated riser)
Hospitals: Security cabling to each nurses’ station
Hotels: To each guest room
Prisons: Security lines to each warden point
Airports: Security, data and telephone
Refineries: Communication and data
Offshore: Communication and data

Note: Attenuation figures given in Tables 2 & 3 assume that 100m of cable has been subjected to fire. Significantly improved results would be obtained should the fire be localised affecting a shorter length of cable.
