CU / Mica Tape Fire Resistant Cable For Sprinkler / Smoke Control System
Defying Disaster: Shanghai Shenghua’s Mica Fire Resistant Cables for Life-Saving Safety Systems
When fire strikes high-rises, tunnels, or hospitals, circuit failure in sprinklers or smoke controls can cost lives. Shanghai Shenghua Power Group Cable engineers CU/Mica Tape Fire Resistant Cables to outlast infernos—ensuring critical systems keep operating even at 950°C for 90+ minutes
Triple-Shielded Fire Defense: The Shenghua Engineering Standard
-
Mica Firewall Core:
- Copper conductors wrapped in mica tape resist temperatures up to 800°C, preventing conductor exposure during prolonged fires—exceeding IEC 60331 and BS 6387 standards
- Unlike standard cables, mica maintains circuit integrity for sprinklers and smoke exhaust fans when flames engulf conduits.
-
XLPE + LSZH Armor:
- XLPE insulation withstands 90°C continuous heat and 250°C short-circuit spikes (5 seconds), outperforming PVC’s 70°C limit while resisting electrical degradation .
- Zero-halogen LSZH sheathing reduces toxic smoke to <0.5% HCl (IEC 60754-1) and ensures >60% light transmittance (IEC 61034), critical for evacuation visibility .
-
Mechanical Resilience:
- Steel tape armoring (e.g., SC1-FPB-CE2 models) protects against falling debris and water spray during firefighting
- Cold-climate flexibility: Preheating enables installation at -30°C, with operational stability from -40°C to 90°C
Certified for Global Critical Infrastructures
Shenghua’s cables comply with post-Grenfell EU/UK regulations, including:
- CPR Euroclass B2ca: 40% lower smoke emission than minimum requirements
- BS 7671 Amendment 2: Mandatory for UK fire safety systems
- IEC 60331 & EN 50200: Validated 90-minute circuit integrity (PH 120 rating)
- Certifications: CE, RoHS, CCC, KEMA (third-party verified)

Applications Where Failure Is Not an Option
- High-Rise Buildings: Powers smoke extraction fans and sprinkler pumps (e.g., London skyscraper retrofit with SC1-FPB-CE2).
- Tunnels & Metros: Ensures emergency lighting stays on during evacuations (LSZH sheathing reduces smoke obscuration)
- Hospitals/Airports: Maintains fire alarm functionality for 90+ minutes (IEC 60331-certified)
Why Global Engineers Choose Shenghua
- 30+ Years of Expertise: China’s #2 cable manufacturer (13B RMB revenue, 600 engineers) with IEC/BS-certified production
- Rigorous Testing: On-site fire labs validate performance under BS 6387 Category CWZ (fire + water + mechanical shock)
- Global Supply: 15-day delivery from Shanghai hubs to EU/ASEAN sites
Application:
These cables are installed to supply power to building essential services including fire alarms,
