FIrE rEsIsTaNT CablEs

Today, LCIB has one of the most advanced facilities for the manufacturing of XLPE / PVC insulated Fire Resistant cables in the Asia-Pacific region. XLPE / PVC insulated Fire Resistant cables manufactured by LCIB are internationally renowned for its world-class quality standard.

Fire Resistant cables manufactured by LCIB provide flexibility, resistance to high temperatures and resistance to combustion with low toxicity, low smoke and low acid gas generation.

This catalog serves as a guide to LCIB’s manufacturing processes and standards in the production of Fire Resistant cables.

In all fire disasters, fire smoke, heat and toxic fumes are the main obstacles to

safe evacuation of a building or area. A major contribution towards overcoming

these hazards is the use of fire resistant and non-halogenated cables. These

cables provide the following characteristics :

High fire resistance

Long-term circuit integrity in a fire

Low smoke and toxic gas emissions

Flame retardant properties

Zero halogen gases

Ease and low cost of installation

Fire Resistant cables are used, where required by local fire codes, in the wiring of :

Fire resistant safety circuits

Public address and emergency voice communication systems in high-rise buildings

Control and instrumentation services in industrial, commercial and residential complexes

High-temperature installation conditions
