HEAT RESISTANCE CABLES

Used wherever technical equipment can create increased temperatures of over 100°C.

Instrumentation Cables

Class 2 stranded plain annealed copper conductors with XLPE insulation can be used to transmit analogue and digital signals in measurement and process control.

Marine Cables

Our wires come with a high level of resistance to wear and tear and external stresses, making them a suitable wire solution for long-term, reliable marine and outdoor industrial use in Singapore.

Rubber Insulated Cables

Heavy-duty cables provide great flexibility while retaining their resistance to outdoor weather, wear and tear, oil/grease and thermal/mechanical stresses. They are also suitable for internal wiring in appliances, control panels, interference-free data signal transmission, dry areas installations & EMC-sensitive applications.

Flexible Control Cables

Class 2 and class 5 stranded copper conductors can be used for all kinds of applications ranging from power & lighting, installation on marine & offshore constructions, electronic equipment in marine vehicles, and much more.

Offshore Cables

Class 2 stranded tinned copper conductor is perfect for Offshore fixed installation cable for power, control and lighting. These are hardy wires that can withstand tough offshore conditions reliably.

Solar Cables

Solar cables interconnect solar panels and other electrical components of a photovoltaic system. These wires are suitable for internal and external installations, utilised in fixed conditions or within the solar conduit.

Lift & Hoist Cables

Extra fine flexible copper conductor and flexible class 5 copper conductor cables for hoisting & lifting equipment. These high strength wires can be utilised without worry as long as they are applied within the weight limit and tensile strength.

Data & Communication Cables

Plain, stranded copper class 5 or solid conductor class 1 cables used to transmit higher volumes of communication and packet data efficiently and reliably.

Heat Resistance Cables

180°C silicon single and multicore cables are fire retardant wires used in environments where prolonged heat resistance is required.

What is a fire-resistant cable?

Fire-resistant cables can withstand fire and continue operations when a fire has broken out. It keeps everyone safe for a while for the present parties to safely evacuate, and one can maintain safe operations under such circumstances without their surroundings catching fire.

For fire-resistant cables, testing is done in accordance with international standard IEC 60331, British Standards BS 6387 to ensure circuit integrity in the event of a fire.

What is a flame-retardant cable?

A flame-retardant cable can extinguish the residual flame or be present near any fire breakouts without the cable catching fire under given conditions. Therefore, it contains the spread of the fire, ensuring that the danger is low for all parties involved.

Flame retardant tests are performed according to IEC 60332 international standards.

What is the difference between an FR and FRLS cable?

An FR cable, also known as a fire-resistant cable, can ensure continued operation despite the fire. In contrast, an FRLS cable, which stands for Flame Retardant Low Smoke cable, cannot do so as it cannot maintain circuit integrity. While fire-resistant cables can be used in power supply circuits for industrial buildings or emergency elevators, a flame-retardant cable may burn out and cease operation during a fire.

What is a heat-resistant cable?

A heat-resistant cable can withstand high temperatures without melting. It differs from a flame retardant and fire-resistant cable as it cannot continue operations when exposed to flames, nor can it self-extinguish if it comes into contact with fire. They are commonly used in items such as a car’s engine compartment, saunas, and ovens.

A silicone rubber sheath is recommended. Silicone-insulated cables are used when exposure to high temperatures and temperature variations may cause conventional PVC-insulated cables to become brittle.

What is LSZH/ LSOH/ OHLS/ LSNH?

All these abbreviations mean Low Smoke Halogen Free. LSZH cables produce very little smoke and toxic fumes and no acid gases during combustion, which greatly increases the chances of escaping.

Halogen-free according to IEC 60754 and low smoke density in accordance with IEC 61034-2 are the international standards.
