Electrical Cables – Stay Safe in Emergencies
What Are Electrical Cables?
Electrical Cables keep working even in fires. Normal wires melt and stop power to lights, alarms, and fans. But fire-safe wires last longer to keep people safe.
Why You Need Fireproof Cables
✔ Save lives – Helps people escape and firefighters work ✔ No power cut – Stays on for 30 mins to 2 hours in fires ✔ Safe smoke – Low smoke, no toxic gas (LSZH) ✔ Strong wires – 600V to 1000V power, thick 14 AWG to 500 MCM size ✔ Easy install – Fits normal conduits, no special tools
