Fire Survival Cables

Fire-resistant survival cables engineered with advanced heat barrier insulation to maintain circuit integrity and continuous power to critical life-safety systems during active fire emergencies.

Fire Survival Cables
Product Overview
Fire Survival Cables

In a fire emergency, every second counts - and Plaza Fire Survival Cables are engineered to keep critical systems powered precisely when lives depend on it. Built with a specially developed heat barrier and advanced fire-resistant insulation, these cables maintain full circuit integrity under direct fire exposure for a defined period, ensuring uninterrupted power to emergency lighting, alarms, evacuation systems, and other life-safety equipment. Unlike standard cables that fail rapidly under extreme heat, Plaza Fire Survival Cables are designed to limit flame spread and minimize smoke emission, reducing panic and keeping evacuation routes visible and safe. Trusted for residential, commercial, and industrial installations alike, these cables represent the highest standard of fire safety engineering - because when the worst happens, your cables should be the last thing that fails.

Conductors: Copper Insulation: mica tape with XLPE or HFFR Available in armored or unarmored versions LSZH Property Sheath. Keeps essential circuits running during a fire, providing crucial time for escape and firefighting. Low smoke, low toxicity, and zero halogen (LSZH) materials prevent toxic fumes and increase visibility. Engineered to withstand direct flame and high temperatures for set periods. RoHS compliant REACH compliant Rodent protection High durability

Specifications

STANDARDS IS 17505-1, IS: 8130 & IS:3975, BS 7846, IEC 60331, BS 6387
CONDUCTOR Conductors are made from electrolytic Annealed Plain / Tinned Copper conforming to IS:8130, and are compact, non-compacted or compact shaped, solid/stranded circular.
PRIMARY INSULATION Mica Tape Layer over conductor
SECONDARY INSULATION XLPE Insulated cables are specially made from high grade cross-linked polyethylene for insulation by extrusion process or Cross linked HFFR.
CORE The cores are identified by different colors.
IDENTIFICATION Single core: Red, Black, Yellow, Blue or natural
Two core: Red & Black
Three core: Red, Yellow & Blue
Three & half core: Red, Yellow, Blue & reduced neutral core in Black
Four core: Red, Yellow, Blue & Black
Five core: Red, Yellow, Blue, Black & Grey
Six core and above: Two adjacent cores (counting and direction core) in each layer, blue and yellow, remaining cores grey, or the insulation of cores shall be of the same color and numbered sequentially, starting with number 1 for the inner layer.
LAYING UP In multicore cables, cores are laid-up as per the above color scheme, inter slices are filled wherever necessary to make the laid-up cores circular.
INNER SHEATH Laid-up cores are bedded over with thermoplastic HFFR material for protection against mechanical and electrical damage.
ARMOURING Armouring
OUTER SHEATH Specifically formulated Thermoplastic HFFR (HFS-TP 90) / Cross linked HFFR (HFS-XL 90)
TEST As per IS 17505-1, IS: 8130 & IS:3975, BS 7846, IEC 60331, BS 6387
