A revised cable and table handbook encompassing 17th edition changes will shortly be published by Draka.
Called A Closer Look at Cable, the pocket-sized handbook runs to over 200 pages and is a mine of information for anyone specifying or installing cabling. It will, says Draka, be invaluable to architects and fire engineers, system designers and installers.
The fully illustrated handbook covers cable design, materials and functions, quality standards and legislation, and fire performance testing. Nearly a third of the pages are devoted to general electrical data, embracing such topics as cable installation, current ratings and conductor resistance, with the new edition detailing changes to this information as published in the 17th edition of the IEE wiring regulations. A Closer Look at Cable also includes detailed information on Draka’s extensive Firetuf fire integrity cable offering, its zero halogen low smoke OHLS wiring and power cables, the company’s PVC wiring and power cables, and special cables.
Commenting on the re-launch of A Closer Look at Cable , Mark Froggatt, Draka’s Marketing Services Manager said: “The revisions to A Closer Look at Cable underpin Draka’s commitment to offering its customers world-class support, and complements our technical enquiry and design service functions. In publishing this document prior to the expected date of enforcement of July, we hope to give our customers time to familiarise themselves with the new ratings from within the latest edition of the wiring regulations”.
A Closer Look at Cable retails at £25, however bona fide specifiers and installers can pre-register for a copy by telephone on +44 (0) 1332 345431, by fax on +44 (0) 1332 331237, and via email at firetuf@draka.com. The handbook is expected to be available early in March.
