FS Cables are pleased to announce that the Draka Firetuf range of data and coax cables have successfully met the requirements of LUL standard 2-01001-002.

As the official distributor of the Draka Firetuf range of data and coax cables FS Cables are delighted with the decision as the LUL engineering standard is both stringent in its testing and internationally recognised as a benchmark for fire safety.

The LUL standard comprises tests for flammability to BS4066: Part 3, smoke emission to BS EN 50268 and toxic fume emissions.

In addition, both cables have been tested for and met fire resistance BS EN 50200:2000 and BS8434-2:2003 and achieved the required performance of class PH120 and 120 minutes survival time when tested to BS8434-2 for FR (fire resistant) enhanced cables.

The results demonstrate the Draka Firetuf data and coax’s ability for continued functionality in the event of fire. This 'rubber stamps' them as the ideal cables for digital signalling and CCTV in many applications including tunnels and train stations.

The Firetuf data range has also proved to be the cabling of choice in many public buildings for BMS applications and critical communication systems where mass emergency evacuation is required. The LSHF materials combined with one of the highest levels of Fire Resistance provide unrivalled safety performance.
