What are fire-resistant cables?
Our Fire-Resistant Cables, including the ÖLFLEX® FR-6387 range, protect vital infrastructure with proven performance under extreme heat.
Fire-resistant cables, like ÖLFLEX® FR-6387, are not just ordinary wires; they’re a vital safety component engineered to keep critical systems running during a fire. In a fire emergency, standard cables can melt, short circuit, and fail, leaving essential systems like emergency lighting, fire alarms, and ventilation inoperable. Fire-resistant cables are designed to withstand high temperatures, ensuring these systems stay active, facilitating safer evacuation and effective firefighting.
While fire-resistant cables can withstand high temperatures for a limited time, it’s crucial to consult with experts to determine the appropriate cable type for your specific application and fire safety requirements.You should use fire-resistant cables whenever safety is paramount and the uninterrupted operation of critical systems is essential during a fire. These high-temperature cables are built to maintain their circuit integrity for extended periods during fire exposure.

When should we use fire-resistant cables?
- Hospitals: Life support systems, medical equipment, emergency lighting, and fire alarms require uninterrupted power supply during a fire to ensure patient safety and facilitate evacuation. Emergency lighting cables must maintain functionality even during high heat and smoke to ensure patient safety.
- Airports: Emergency lighting, communication systems, baggage handling equipment, and air traffic control need reliable power to maintain safety and order during a fire.
- Hotels: Fire alarm systems, emergency exits, and elevator operations rely on uninterrupted power to facilitate safe evacuations.
- Schools and Universities: Similar to hospitals and hotels, fire safety systems, emergency lighting, and communication systems need to function during a fire for student and staff safety.
- Power Plants: Critical power systems, control panels, and emergency generators need to remain operational to prevent widespread power outages and potential hazards.
- Manufacturing Plants: Production lines, safety systems, and emergency shut-off mechanisms require reliable power to prevent accidents, control hazards, and facilitate safe evacuation.
- Chemical and Petrochemical Plants: Fire-resistant cables are vital for maintaining control systems and emergency shut-off mechanisms in these high-risk environments.
- Subways and Tunnels: Emergency lighting, ventilation systems, communication systems, and power to train control systems are essential for safe evacuation during a fire.
- Airports: Runways, air traffic control systems, and emergency lighting systems rely on uninterrupted power for safe operation during a fire.
- Emergency Lighting: These systems provide safe escape routes during a fire and are often required by building codes.
- Fire Alarm Systems: Fire alarm systems must be operational during a fire to alert occupants and activate sprinkler systems or other fire suppression equipment.
- Building Management Systems: These systems control HVAC, security, and other building functions and can be crucial for coordinating evacuation efforts.
Integrate these cables seamlessly with your Building Management Systems for advanced fire response coordination and control.
- Data Centers: Servers, network equipment, and cooling systems require reliable power to prevent data loss and system failure during a fire.
- Telecommunication Centers: Essential communication infrastructure needs to remain functional to facilitate emergency communication and coordinate response efforts.
