Connections that work in case of fire

Whether in football stadiums, airports or metro stations – wherever masses of people assemble in a confined space, the risk of catastrophe in case fire is especially great. That’s why special cabling systems are particularly important – systems that continue to function dependably even during a fire – providing life-saving security for an extended time. As a leading provider of safety cable systems, Daetwyler Cables closely collaborates with fireprotection specialists to develop innovative solutions. These systems provide continuous power and data transmission even in a fire, and thus form the backbone of an effective fire-safety concept.

Mobility is increasing rapidly worldwide – and with it the sizes of crowds in airports and train stations. Other confined spaces in which thousands of people congregate daily include office towers, shopping centres and entertainment parks.

Safety standards meet cable technology
Fire-safety regulations are being continually tightened to minimize fire damage and provide the best possible protection of life and property. Daetwyler Cables is a step ahead in the race, offering innovative total solutions that incorporate electrical cable systems with extended functional integrity. These systems go beyond the toughest European norms. Functional integrity testing covers not just individual cables but complete cable systems including the associated supports and fasteners. In contrast to conventional insulation integrity testing, this method of comprehensive testing reflects the actual performance of entire cable systems installed in a buildings that catches on fire.

Patented ceramic technology
Daetwyler Cables has been producing safety cables using patented ceramic technology for over ten years. The materials and processing of the ceramic-insulated products are being constantly improved. The latest generation of cables offers a variety of tested, standardcompliant installation options that outperform by far the conventional installation methods (according to DIN 4102-12).
