Firex Fire-Rated Cable is an enhanced fire-resistant cable built to keep life-safety circuits alive during a serious, prolonged fire. It carries a BS 6387 Category "C" rating — maintaining full circuit integrity for 3 hours at 950°C (fire alone) — placing it well above standard FP200-grade cables that survive only 30 minutes. That extra endurance is what keeps fire alarm panels, voice-evacuation speakers, emergency lighting, sprinkler pumps and smoke-control systems operating long enough for a safe, orderly evacuation of large or high-occupancy buildings. Manufactured in the UAE by Firex (Emirates Fire Fighting Equipment Factory) and LPCB certified, the cable uses Class 1 solid copper conductors rated at 300/500V, tested to 2000V AC, with a minimum insulation resistance above 200 MΩ·km at 20°C. It withstands an operating temperature up to +180°C, installs from -5°C to +50°C, and bends to just 8× its overall diameter for easy routing in conduit, trunking or on tray. Circuit-integrity performance aligns with BS 5839-1, IEC 60331 and BS EN 50200 — the standards Abu Dhabi Civil Defence (ADCDA) and consultants specify for compliant fire-detection and emergency systems. Available in 1.0mm², 1.5mm² and 2.5mm² Class 1 sizes to suit detection loops, sounder circuits and longer runs, Firex fire-rated cable combines certified 3-hour performance with reliable local supply and short lead times. SafePass supplies it to contractors, consultants, MEP firms and facility owners across Abu Dhabi, Dubai and the Northern Emirates — add it to your quote list for same-day pricing, volume rates and delivery to Mussafah, ICAD, KIZAD or any project site.
