Flame Retardant Coaxial Cables
Flame Retardant RG11 A/U CWB/SWB/SWA Armoured Coaxial Cables
MTA-B-C-D-Y
APPLICATION :
This cables are used for interconnection of distribution boxes and end devices, where continued functionality is required during a fire situation. The cables are very suitable for various indoor and outdoor applications, including routing between buildings within ducts and inside building up to riser shafts.
STANDARDS:
Basic design adapted to Telcordia GR409-CORE / TIA/EIA 568B.3 / ICEA-S-83-596
FIRE PERFORMANCE:
Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test)** | EN 60332-1-2; IEC 60332-1-2; BS EN 60332-1-2; VDE 0482-332-1 ; NBN C 30-004 (cat. F1); NF C32-070-2.1(C2); CEI 20-35/1-2; EN 50265-2- 1*; DIN VDE 0482-265-2-1* |
---|---|
Reduced Fire Propagation (Vertically-mounted bundled wires & cable test)** | EN 60332-3-24 (cat. C); IEC 60332-3-24; BS EN 60332-3-24; VDE 0482-332-3; NBN C 30-004 (cat. F2); NF C32-070-2.2(C1); CEI 20-22/3-4; EN 50266-2-4*; DIN VDE 0482-266-2-4 |
Note: Asterisk ** denotes that the standard compliance is optional, depending on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the cable design.
CABLE CONSTRUCTION :
Optical fibers: Singlemode and multimode tight fibers, with tight buffer coating.
Reinforcement: Either aramid yarn or fiber glass is wound around the tube to provide physical protection and tensile strength, with added fire protection.
Inner Sheath(optional): Thermoplastic PVC compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1
Ripcord(optional): An optional ripcord can be located under the outer sheath to facilitate jacket removal.
Armouring(optional):
STA: Corrugated steel tape armour
SWB: Steel wire braid
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic PVC compound. UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti rodent and anti termite properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL 1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can also be provided upon request.
Physical AND THERMAL PROPERTIES:
Temperature range during operation (fixed state): -20°C - +60°C
Temperature range during installation (mobile state): 0°C - +50°C
Minimum bending radius: 10 times the outer diameter for unarmoured cables
20 times the outer diameter for armoured cables
