BS 7917 Shipwiring Instrumentation 658M SW4 Fire Resistant Armoured

Manufactured with a galvanised steel wire braid for mechanical protection these fire resistant cables are available in both pairs and triples to provide collective or individual screening through the use of metallic foils and drain wires. Offering good flexibility and circuit integrity their use has spread from ships to rigs and many onshore/offshore applications.

The oil resistant SW4 Low Smoke Halogen Free sheathing compounds ensure that in the event of a fire the cables offer excellent protection to both people and property by not emitting toxic or corrosive gases whilst keeping emergency circuits operating.
