Lifeline® Fire Resistive Cable Systems | Prysmian North America

Discover Prysmian's Lifeline® technology, offering the widest range of fire-resistive cable systems in North America. Benefit from easy installation, unparalleled value in the electrical industry, and most importantly, UL-certified code compliance for life safety applications. Lifeline fire-resistive cables feature unique ceramified silicone technology, ensuring uninterrupted operation of vital communication and power systems during extreme fire conditions.

Lifeline® Cables can Take the Heat

 

Lifeline® cables can endure temperatures as high as 1010 °C.

 

Lifeline fire-resistive cable systems are designed to maintain operation of critical fire alarm systems and emergency circuits against attack by fire and water and are used primarily for:

  • Fire pumps
  • Emergency Ventilation Systems
  • Stairwell Pressurization
  • Emergency Lighting Systems
  • Back-up power Systems
  • Emergency Feeder Cables
  • Elevators / OEO
  • Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS)

 

This paper is in response to a white paper and video published by nVent Thermal in January 2021 that makes misleading claims about ceramifying insulation cables. The nVent Thermal claims rely on company-funded test by an anonymous laboratory conducted without regulatory oversight. The process did not follow accepted industry standards, and many methods do not accurately replicate real-life scenarios.

Inside Lifeline® Products

Lifeline® RHW-2 Two-Hour Fire-Resistant Cables are utilized in Life Safety and Emergency circuits within EMT and XW Breathsaver® Phenolic Conduit. They hold UL 2196 certification as fire-resistant cables designed for survival in a fire.

Lifeline® MC and Lifeline® MC LSZH are two-hour fire-resistive cables designed for life safety and emergency circuits, functioning as self-contained raceways. They are UL 2196 certified for fire resistance, ensuring survival in a fire.

The QFCI cable is an essential part of critical communication and emergency systems, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. It is made from low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) materials and is flame retardant. Its patented design guarantees uninterrupted operation for over three hours in fires reaching temperatures of up to 1000ºC, in accordance with the updated IEC 60331-25 standard.

Lifeline® RC90 is classified under ULC-S139, the standard for tests of fire-resistive cables, for two hours in horizontal (H) and one hour in vertical (V) installations.
