Prysmian FP600 cable meets BS7346-6:2005 test requirements for 120 minute operation and has been specifically designed to meet more onerous fire survival requirements now demanded for life safety and fire fighting applications in large or complex buildings.

This easy-to-read brochure has a quick reference key detailing all the cable's main characteristics and gives an overview of key applications, cable descriptions and other need-to-know product selection information. Copies are available to download from www.prysmian.co.uk.

More about FP600 cable:

FP600 is, says Prysmian, the first of a new generation of fire resistant cables to exceed stringent new recommendations and is ideal for applications such as life safety systems, property protection and fire fighting systems in large and complex buildings that must remain functional in the event of a fire. Although no special tools or techniques are needed to install the cable, guidance and recommendations are provided on installation, allowing this process to be as straight forward and clear as possible.

Julie Mould, marketing manager for Prysmian said: "FP600 is the only non MICC cable on the market that satisfies such a high level performance criteria, so we produced this brochure to provide essential product information in an easy to understand format. Because it is available online it can be accessed at the touch of a button. We believe the brochure will act as a valuable reference source for cable selection for use in ever more complex building projects."

Examples of circuits, which may be required to remain operational under the BS7346-6 fire conditions include: atrium, basement, underground car park and shopping mall smoke venting systems, electrically operated fire shutters and fire fighting lifts.

Prysmian and its authorised distributors hold stocks of the most popular sizes of FP600, which can be readily delivered to site. For further information email cables.marketing.uk@prysmian.com or call the sales office on 0845 767 8345.
