The UFS 01 Fire Survival Cable has been designed to meet the requirements of IEC 60794 and exceed the requirements of IEC 60331 Part 25.The IEC 60331 Fire Test, commonly known as the Fire Survival Test, was developed for electric cables, but Part 25, issued in 1999, covers optical cables. The minimum flame temperature is 750°C, with a recommended flame application time of 90 minutes, plus 15 minutes cooling time. While the specification does not detail an acceptance criteria, aside from maintaining circuit integrity, Brand-Rex has adopted a pass criteria of no more than 1.5dB increase in attenuation under test conditions. The BSEN 50200:2000 Class PH120 test subjects the sample cable to higher temparature (830°C), additional mechanical shock and water spray during the ‘flame on’ period. This enhanced requirement simulates a real life situation with fire containment systems in operation and potential impacts from falling debris. Further demonstrating the extended fire survival performance, Brand-Rex have tested to BS8434-2 This tests the cable at a temperature of 930°C for 120minutes, inclusive of the mechanical shock and water spray from BSEN50200, proving that the UFS01 fire survival cable can meet the most stringent of tests.
