Fire Resisting Cables
600/1000V Mica+XLPE Insulated, LSZH Sheathed Power Cables to IEC 60502-1 (Single Core)
FFX300 1mRZ1-R (CU/MGT+XLPE/LSZH 600/1000V Class 2)
APPLICATION
These XLPE insulated and LSZH sheathed cables are generally used for fixed installation. Suitable for building
wiring, especially in areas where smoke and fume emissions may cause a potential threat to life but not for
burial in the ground, either directly or in ducts.
