Properties

Fire spreading (self-extinguishing)
Cables prevent fire propagation by local flame influence resp. after fire influence extinguish by themselves, they comply with requirements STN EN 60332-1-1; -2; -3; STN EN 60332-2-1; -2 (34 7101) and analogous international standards.

Fire spreading (self-extinguishing) of cable kit
Cables in kit prevent fire propagation by local flame activity resp. after fire activity extinguish by themselves, they comply with requirements STN EN 50266-1 (34 7102), STN EN 50266-2-1; -2; -3; -4; -5 (34 7102) and analogous international standards.

Corrosive effects
During a fire, cables do not produce corrosive gases or fumes, they comply with requirements STN EN 50267-1 (34 7104); STN EN 50267-2-1; -2; -3 (34 7104) and analogous international standards.

Smoke density
During a fire, cables produce negligible smoke - escape exits stay clear, firemen activity is not limited, they comply with requirements STN EN 61034-1; -2 (34 7103) and analogous international standards.

Functionality during a fire
Cables are fully working during local flame influence for appointed time, they have insulation integrity and they comply with requirements STN IEC 60331-11 (34 7021); STN IEC 60331-21; -23; -25 (34 7021) IEC 60331-21, -23, -25 and analogous international standards.

Functional tests with tap
Cable construction assures its functionality according to requirements STN IEC 60331-31 (34 7102); STN EN 50200 (34 7105); STN EN 50362 (34 7105)

Electric security
High electric strength, high insulation resistance, minimal leakage current.

Overloading and short circuit security
Cables are not deformed by the impact of produced heat, they keep their functionality, and they do not cause fire.

Cables comply with requirements §91 and Appendix 14 of Regulation nr.94/2000 of Slovak republic code.

Installation
The insulation can be easily stripped; they can be easily and quickly installed.

Economics
Higher security - low additional costs.
