Fire Resistant & Heat Resistant Cable
Fire Resistant & Heat Resistant Cable
With the progress and prosperity, modern skyscrapers have rapidly increased. The countless residents are lived in it. If the fire and safety equipment is not perfect, it will lead to irreparable damage in case of fire.
In order to effectively protect public life and property, modern buildings must have complete fire and safety equipment. Considerable amount of cable is utilized as media by electricity transmission, process control, alarm, surveillance and communications systems etc.
In case of fire, these cables must continue to maintain its original function and normal operation of equipment for a long period of time to facilitate the fire and safety work. Therefore, the cable must have special fire resistant properties.
PEWC adheres to the usual style to research, design and manufacture fire/heat resistant cable with special materials, first-class technology and strict quality control in order to provide social security protection.These products have excellent quality. Besides of passing the quality testing by famous notarization organization in Taiwan or overseas, but also has certified as fire safety equipment by National Fire Agency of the Ministry of the Interior R.O.C.
Characteristics of FR & HR cable
- Fire Resistant
The fire resistant layer on the conductor of FR cable has excellent fire resistance and insulation properties. FR cable is complied and qualified with the following fire tests.
Certified with CNS 11359 (CNS certification mark) and certification for Fire Resistant Cable (fire resistant test 950℃, 90 minutes & 840℃, 30 minutes) from National Fire Agency of the Ministry of the Interior R.O.C.
They can comply with following fire tests:- CCNS 11174(Z2058) Fire Resistant Cable
- Japan Fire Defense Board Notification No.10 (840℃, 30 minutes)
- IEC 331(750℃, 3 hours)
- BS 6387(950℃, 3 hours)
The XLPE insulation of HR cable shall be of heat resistant, stable & has excellent electrical properties. HR cable has been certified by the Certification of Heat Resistant Cable from National Fire Agency of the Ministry of the Interior R.O.C. Besides, it is complied with Japan Fire Defense Board Notification No.11 (380℃, 15 minutes) & CNS 11175 (Heat resistant test 310℃, 15 minutes)

Definition of Code: FR : Fire Resistant Cable E : PE C : XLPE L : LSFH V : PVC HR : Heat Resistant Cable
Wiring Can Be Exposed
The cable can be directly installed without in duct or fire/heat protection。
Easy to install, Reduce Cost
Comparing with traditional installation style (Cable in duct, direct burial or with fire/heat protection), it is much cheaper in material and labour cost, etc..
Simple and Easy In Jointing and Termination
Except for special Heating Fire Treatment on conductor splicing is required. There is same Jointing and termination method with XLPE-PVC cable.
