Advantages of mining cable

1. Property of corrosion proof, organic insulated fireproof requires plastic tube or tube or iron tube sometimes, the plastic tube is liable to deteriorate and iron tube is apt to rust or erode, but the fireproof cable has copper sheath and the tube is need-less, besides, copper sheath has favorable corrosion resistance.

2. Free of electromagnetic interference when wiring in the same vertical shaft with information wire and control wire because of shielding of copper sheath the fireproof cable would not interfere the single and control wires or cables ;

3. Tinguishing apparatus normally in flame, it reduces fire damage, extinguishing apparatus normally in flame, it reduces fire damage. Besides, it is reliable for personnel safety, as its copper sheath is a kind of good conductor, is the best earthed PE wire and covers the whole cable, the life of up to 100 years ;

4. Long service life, high-temperature resistance and degradation resistance of inorganic insulated material its service life is many times of that of organic insulated cables, under normal working conditions, its service Life can be as long as that of buildings;

We supply the full range of LSF (Low Smoke & Fume) outer coverings.

Used for identification purposes where cables are run on the surface of walls or cable trayplates. They are usually Red in colour for fire protection, or the standard Orange. We can also supply a range of other colours on request.
