How to use
Installation should be performed by qualified electrical professionals in accordance with local fire safety regulations and electrical codes. The cable should be routed through appropriate cable trays, conduits, or mounting systems that support its fire-resistant rating. Ensure that the bending radius is respected during installation to prevent damage to the internal conductors and insulation layers. Connections must be made using fire-rated junction boxes and terminals to maintain the integrity of the entire circuit.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the specific fire safety requirements for your building project
- Ensure the 1.5mm2 cross-section is sufficient for your power load requirements
- Confirm the total length required for your installation
- Check compatibility with existing fire-rated mounting hardware
Usage recommendations: Always store the cable in a dry, protected environment before installation to prevent moisture ingress. Avoid exposing the cable to direct sunlight for extended periods during storage, and ensure that all connections are inspected by a certified fire safety engineer upon completion of the installation.
