Where people and property come first, the Draka Firetuf cable range provides the ideal solution.

Draka Firetuf cable has been installed and commissioned into a variety of buildings designed under fire safety engineering principles. These buildings include mass transit stations like London Underground, Heathrow Terminal 5, St Pancras Eurostar terminal. Also Sports Stadia such as the Emirates stadium in London and shopping malls including Westfield White City, St Davids Centre, Cardiff and Highcross, Leicester. In centres of learning like universities and schools and any number of hospital projects.

The full range of Firetuf is only available from FS Cables and includes Fibre, Data, Coax and also the more commonly available Fire Alarm cables.

For Fibre applications where mechanical protection is required, a corrugated steel tape armoured versions are also stocked alongside the unarmoured version. The added armour provides physical protection to the cable against vandalism or rodent damage.

Firetuf Coax performs in a similar way to RG59 which is widely used in the CCTV sector, this allows continued monitoring of fire exits and evacuation routes in the event of a fire.

Firetuf Data is a group of high-performance fire survival data cables. The twisted pair cables provide high data transmission rates and have been developed to mimic Cat 5E cabling as closely as possible. Increasingly popular with system integrators for BMS applications, the cables can be terminated using traditional LAN Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC) making them ideal for use in horizontal backbone wiring systems in offices and public buildings.
