Makes your work faster and easier.
A fire-safe cable with exceptional user-friendliness.
As an installer, you want fire-resistant cables that will:
· be easy to strip without special tools, and without damage to the insulation
· assure high tensile strength during installation and pulling operations
· achieve space savings in tubes, conduits and cable trays
· ensure “circuit integrity” during fire and also minimize fire-propagation
· meet all national and international standards
- Innovative INFIT technology
INFIT is a Nexans state-of-the-art generic technology, which draws on the latest Materials Science to optimize the structure and cohesion of cable insulations during fire. Based on selected types of polymers and patented specific compositions, it combines the rigid and easy-to-handle surface of traditional XLPE/mica cables with the strippability and installation ease of flexible silicone-rubber cables. In the event of a fire, INFIT transforms the insulation from a flexible, plastic covering to a tough ceramic layer to assure circuit integrity (i.e. no breaks or short circuits for 180 minutes).
Applications
Safety cables for equipment components in:
- buildings
- tunnels
- technical equipment rooms, etc.
where free from harmful substances, defined fire behaviour, free from halogen and low smoke density are required, but where there is a risk of fire transmission arising from vertically running bunched cables, and integrity of insulation must be maintened for at least 180 minutes.
Cross-linking by irradiation needs SF6-Gas, harmful for the climate.
Nexans Switzerland applies a process of cross-linking without radioactive source.
