Performance differences between fire-resistant cables and flame-retardant cables

2017-05-12View Original

Thread Content

Refractory cables are capable of continuing to function properly for a certain period of time even when burned in a flame. Flame-retardant cables are designed to burn such that the spread of flames is confined to a limited area, and any remaining embers or smoldering can extinguish themselves within a specified time.

I only know that fire-resistant cables have flame-retardant properties, but flame-retardant cables are not fire-resistant.

Fire resistance means being unaffected by fire, while flame retardancy means not burning and not producing flames.
