Industrial Communication Cable

Our industrial communication cable offered with or without electromagnetic shielding-are ideally suited for vertical runs within building alarm and evacuation systems. They are extensively used in high-rise residential and commercial buildings, academic institutions, medical centers, and other public facilities to link smoke alarms, emergency lighting, exit signage, and central fire command stations into a cohesive safety network. These cables are the go-to choice when fire safety is paramount.

Featuring a flame-retardant PVC core insulation, a robust outer jacket, and an aluminum/PE laminated shield, this cable is built to operate reliably in high-temperature zones. Its design complies with UL 1666, significantly limiting vertical flame spread through shafts and ductwork.

Conforms to VW-1 vertical flammability criteria (ANSI/UL 1581).

Evaluated in accordance with ANSI/UL 1666 for flame travel distance.

Acceptable for both traditional electrical risers and combined fiber-optic installations.
