NX600 maintains circuit integrity during a fire

Alsecure® NX600 is a low smoke, halogen free, fire resistant cable approved for applications with survival timesof 30, 60, and 120 minute as described in BS8519 and is designed for use with fire safety engineering systems in buildings such as: 

• The supply and control of smoke and fire barriers
• Smoke control equipment e.g. dampers, curtains, and fans
• Fire-fighting and evacuation lifts
• Sprinkler systems
• Wet riser pumps
• Plus other systems which help to ensure the safest evacuation and assist in the firefighting stages of a fire

Confidence from independent certification

Further testament to the quality are the independant approvals obtained by Alsecure® NX600.  Users can thus be sure that the Alsecure® NX600 will maintain power to their critical fire safety systems as they meet the highest and most exacting performance standards.
