Fire safety cable ProBase PB-1x2x1.0 LSZH B2ca Red 100 m, single-core 2 mm² equivalent

ProBase PB-1x2x1.0 LSZH B2ca Red is a single-core fire safety cable designed for installations that require reduced smoke and toxic emissions during combustion. Supplied in a 100 m length and finished in red, this 2 mm² equivalent conductor cable is intended for power and signalling circuits within fire alarm, emergency lighting and other life-safety systems, providing consistent conductivity while meeting a B2ca reaction-to-fire classification.

Advantages

The LSZH sheath minimizes halogen emissions and dense smoke generation in case of fire, improving conditions for evacuation and firefighter access. The B2ca classification ensures elevated reaction-to-fire performance suitable for many building applications. A single-core design simplifies routing in conduit or trunking and allows clear identification of the red safety circuit. The cable’s construction supports stable electrical characteristics for reliable signalling and power distribution in safety-critical circuits.

Suitable for

• Fire alarm systems and detectors
• Emergency and escape route lighting circuits
• Safety and signalling loops in commercial and residential buildings
• Powering control panels and safety devices in public spaces

Key specifications

• Conductor: single core, nominal cross-section equivalent to 2 mm²
• Insulation and sheath: low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH)
• Reaction to fire: B2ca classification
• Colour: red
• Length: 100 metres
• Application: power and signalling for safety systems

How to use

Install the cable following applicable national and local electrical codes and fire-safety regulations. Route the single-core cable through appropriate conduit, trunking or cable trays, and secure it to prevent mechanical damage. Use the red-coloured sheath to identify safety circuits and connect to terminals of compatible fire alarm panels, emergency lighting drivers or control equipment. Ensure proper conductor termination, correct polarity where required, and verify continuity and insulation resistance before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

For optimal fire performance, avoid installing the cable in direct contact with heat sources and maintain recommended separation from power circuits that could induce interference. When used in life-safety circuits, pair with compatible components rated for the same or higher fire performance and follow regular inspection and testing schedules.
