BFOU Power 1kV

Widely used within the oil and gas industry for both on and off shore applications, this cable conforms to some of the highest standards for smoke emissions and flame retardancy. It is increasingly used in general contracting where the safety of people and equipment is paramount.

The cable is designed to carry on working for a period of 3 hours when exposed to fire, according to IEC 60331 test procedure.

    

 

BFOU also offers good screening properties, reducing Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI).

Cable Construction

Tinned stranded copper conductor, MICA tape, EPR insulation, Halogen Free Thermoplastic Elastomer bedding, braid of tinned copper wires and a black Halogen Free UV resistant Thermoset Elastomer outer sheath.

At FSC we refer to LSHF as Low Smoke Halogen Free

This term is interchangeable with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), OHLS (Zero Halogen Low Smoke) and FRNC (Flame Retardant Non-Corrosive). Beware of the terms LSF (Low Smoke and Fume) or RP (Reduced Propogation), when relating to signal or control cables will normally be modified PVC and produce 'Loads of Smoke and Fume'!

Fire retardant, fire resistant, flame resistant or flame retardant?

These terms are often misunderstood. Most cables when exposed to fire will not carry on functioning. If you require cable to continue working in the event of fire, and in accordance with various standards please call us.
