Applications

Copper Data Cables

As a flame retardant and low-smoke jacket for copper data cables, FireGUARD enhances safety in building installations. It also helps to resist kinks and knuckling during installation. Our broad selection of jacket compounds can be used over numerous cable core designs ranging from all pairs of FEP insulation to 3 x 1, 2 x 2 and dual layer insulations as well as non-fluoropolymer 0 x 4 constructions.

Fiber Optic Cables

A cost-effective alternative to fluoropolymers and other jacketing materials, FireGUARD is ideally suited for use in a variety of cable designs starting with simplex and duplex to distribution and breakout cables which can contain tight buffered, loose tube, ribbonized or unbuffered optical fibers. 

Specialty Cables

FireGUARD offers flame retardancy and low-smoke emission for a wide variety of diverse specialty cable applications. 

Security Cables

FireGUARD enhances security cables with flame retardant properties. The lower flexural modulus of jacket compounds makes multi-component cables more flexible and easier to install.
