Cables live up to Underground's expectations
Several of Draka’s cable designs have been approved by London Underground as satisfying – and in many cases, exceeding – the safety requirements of Section 12 (underground) areas, as set out in LU 1-085.
Firetuf FTP120 is designed to ensure power supplies for both life safety and firefighting systems are maintained in a fire. In addition to its approval by London Underground, the zero halogen, low smoke OHLS cable is approved by LPCB (Loss Prevention Certification Board) and BASEC (British Approvals Service for Cables).
Draka’s OHLS Firetuf FT Sifer single-core, circuit integrity cable was developed specifically to meet the onerous testing requirements demanded by London Underground, particularly in relation to its stringent vertical flame propagation testing that exceeds the requirements of BS 7211: 1998.
