Halogen-free, fire resistant
cable range

Raychem has developed a new halogen-free, lightweight,
small size, fire resistant cable to exceed the exacting fire
resistant requirements of IEC 60331 (ie withstands 950°C
for 3 hours as opposed to the 750°C requirement) and
meet the flame retardant requirements of IEC 60332-3
(Cat A), whilst maintaining significant size and weight
savings over conventional materials.
FR-1000 cable consists of Raychem’s Type 95 primary
wire with a Zerohal jacket and can be used throughout the
installation, simplifying the selection for designers and
electrical engineers. By a combination of Raychem’s
proven expertise in polymer and radiation chemistry, low
fire hazard technology and precision extrusion capability
Raychem has been able to develop a range of cables with
the following features and benefits:
Reduced size and weight over existing thickwall cables
offering savings of approximately 30% and optimising
the space available leading to lower installed costs by
downsizing connectors, glanding, cable support
structures, and reduced time on installation.
With increasing complexity of electronic systems,
sensors, communications and safety equipment more
cables are required to fit into smaller spaces. FR-1000
small size cable can offer distinct advantages over
conventional cables:
Tough and flexible constructions aiding installation
through smaller bend radii and extending service life.
Controlled dimensions simplifying connector and transit
selection.
Resistance to widely used fluids such as diesel fuels,
oils and greases.
