To put it as simply as possible, a Data Centre is a building with immense energy needs and expensive electronic equipment. It is a major fire hazard that needs to be controlled by installing fire-resistant cable for emergency circuits. Often, the cables are responsible for spreading the fire as they enter the building and pass through the floor and ceiling of each room. It is easy to say that fire safety should be at the top of the priorities during the design phase of the Data Centre.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAIN CABLE FOR EMERGENCY CIRCUITS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The RZ1-K (AS+)<\/a> cable was specially designed and enhanced to be the main cable for emergency circuits in a Data Centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a fire, heat and flames will melt the outer sheath, and then come in contact with a thin film we include called a mica tape. As fire touches it, the film chemically reacts and becomes ceramic, thus protecting the conductor and allowing the cable to continue working<\/strong>. This is especially helpful for emergency lighting, door locks, sprinklers, and other emergency equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
