Cables pass 60-minute fire test

Nexans has developed the Alsecure NX 200 cable range to ensure continued operation of vital safety systems for the critical evacuation and fire-fighting periods.

The Alsecure NX200 range of fire-resistant building cables from Nexans has just passed its 60-minute fire test to ensure compliance with the new PH60 requirement of BS5266-1 for emergency lighting.

This new compliance enables the Alsecure NX200 range to provide a versatile one-stop-solution for fully certified easy to handle and install cables for a range of building safety systems including fire detection, emergency lighting, voice alarm, public address and smoke evacuation.

Nexans has developed the Alsecure NX 200 cable range to ensure continued operation of vital safety systems for the critical evacuation and fire-fighting periods required by the highest UK standards (with BASEC and LPCB type approvals).

In addition to meeting the new PH60 requirement of BS5266-1, Alsecure NX200 is suitable for use on all properties where an evacuation period is required (in compliance with BS5839-8434 part 1, PH30).

In addition to meeting extreme fire conditions for extended periods, the Alsecure NX200 cables are flame-retardant and release minimal smoke in case of fire.

Nexans has paid particular attention to making the NX200 cables easy to install.

There are no extra tapes to remove, they are easy to strip and they retain their memory.

They are supplied on easily carried, colour-coded reusable plastic reels.

For fast and easy roll-outs the reels can also be used in conjunction with Nexans own rolling device system.

The Alsecure NX200 range offers a wide choice of core count and conductor sizes for use with ac and dc voltages of 300/500V.

It forms part of a developing range that also includes single-core and armoured cables as well as fire-reaction cables, and is backed-up by Nexans' full UK technical and logistical support.
