Fire Resistant QFCI/O/RM-JM/-F1

Optical cable for indoor and outdoor use in vital communication and emergency systems that need to be operational during fire. The cable has a patented design that ensures operation for more than 3 hours in fires up to 1000ºC. The cable is halogen free and flame retardant to protect against secondary damage to electronic equipment during and after fire. Outer sheath is made from black UV-stabilized and weather resistant material and may be exposed for shorter periods to fluids such as diesel, petrol, glycol, ethanol, white spirit and ASTM oil 2. The resistance to these fluids is according to DOD-STD-1678, method 8030. The cable is reinforced with a steel wire braiding. The fibers are protected in gel-filled loose tubes stranded around a central strength member to ensure optimum performance and long life. Each fiber and loose tube is color coded for easy identification during splicing and termination. The outer sheath is marked to show fiber type and cable type.
