Description
Firetuf FT120
Enhanced Fire Resistant Cable
Firetuf FT120 is the ‘enhanced’ fire resistant cable solution for fire alarm, fire detection,emergency voice communication and emergency lighting circuits.
It meets the requirements of the construction standard BS7629-1, certified by BASEC and also meets the ‘enhanced’ requirements for fire resistance in BS8434-2, certified by LPCB. It is suitable for all ‘enhanced’ applications described in BS5839-1,6,8 & 9 and BS5266-1 and FT120 retains the easy handling advantages of a pliable cable with lower termination costs and no special tool requirements.
Firetuf FT120 – suitable for fire alarm and fire safety applications.
