Fire-Resistant Fiber Optic Cables — Frequently Asked Questions
Which fiber is resistant to fire?
Glass fiber itself doesn’t burn, but the cable’s sheath determines fire resistance. For high-safety environments, choose LSZH, FE180, and B2ca-rated cables.
Which cable is fire-resistant?
A fire-resistant cable maintains operational integrity during fire exposure. Look for certifications like FE180, PH90/PH120, IEC 60331, or EN 50200.
Difference between FRLS and LSZH cables?
• FRLS: Flame-retardant, low smoke (may contain halogens)
• LSZH: Low smoke, zero halogen (no corrosive gases) — preferred for enclosed, people-dense areas
What is a fire-resistant cable per IEC 60331?
A cable that continues functioning under direct flame during testing. FE180-rated fibers maintain optical transmission for up to 180 minutes.
What is a B2ca cable?
A high-performance CPR fire class, suitable for strict building safety regulations. Ratings like B2ca-s1a-d1-a1 indicate excellent control of flame spread, heat release, smoke, and acidity.
What is a fire-rated cable?
A broad term covering cables certified for fire safety — including fire-resistance (functional integrity) and reaction-to-fire performance. Both are often required in life-safety systems.
