Cable Structure
Conductor | The conductors, drawn from bright electrolytic grade copper and annealed and bunched together. |
Insulation | The bunched conductors are insulated with specially formulated grade of Halogen Free Flame Retardant (HFFR) compound is used. The insulation does not melt or drop in case of fire. The smoke emitted is transparent, non-toxic and minimal. The victims trapped in the fire do not suffocate and evacuation is convenient. |
Marking | The cables are printed with generic marking ‘BANFIRE’. |
Colors | Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, Green and Grey. |
Packing | 90 Meters (apprx.100 yards) pack in protective cartons. |
