INTRODUCTIONPrysmian Cables & Systems is a leader in the development of cables that reduce the risk and danger to people and propertyin fire situations. For years, Prysmian has invested in fire research and associated technology. The result of this research is arange of fire performance cables that cater to the needs of different fire safety standards and applications.The MIMS (mineral insulated metal sheath) range is the ultimate in fire survival cables (circuit integrity in a fire situation).This range will not propagate flame, produces no smoke and does not emit hazardous or acidic gas. In addition, the MIMSrange offers high impact resistance/mechanical strength, has superior EMI/EMC performance and is non-ageing. MIMS is theonly cable with approved characteristics for Earth Sheath Return (ESR) wiring that reduces wiring cost in high rise buildingsby approximately 25%.MIMS cables provide reliable electrical wiring for mains power, lighting, control and emergency services for hotels, highrisecommercial buildings, hospitals, tunnels, railways, in fact, wherever public safety is of utmost importance. The cables are alsohighly recommended for use in potentially hazardous situations such as oil refineries, gas and chemical plants (for situationscorrosive to copper, a serving over bare copper sheathed cable should be used). These cables are also ideal for use in hightemperature areas – power stations, steel works; or where hygiene is essential – food processing plants, breweries anddairies. The MIMS cable range is made to order and further details can be obtained in your request for quotation.Firestop is a range of polymeric fire performance cables designed to minimise the evolution of smoke, acidic and dangerousgases, while maintaining circuit integrity in a fire situation. The range has been developed in response to major fire codereform and is type tested to AS/NZS 5000.1 (where applicable) and AS/NZS 3013. Firestop cables are typically used inhighrise buildings and other densely occupied places. They are used where power supply to essential circuits like waterpumps, lift motors, emergency lighting, fire alarms and other automation and control systems is critical in the event of a fire.Afumex is a range of cables which give off minimal amounts of smoke and acidic gases. Afumex cables are designed toreduce hazards associated with fire, making them ideal for buildings that are regularly occupied such as multi-storeydwellings, office blocks, hotels and educational institutions. The Afumex range is also ideal for certain applications inbuildings where large numbers of people congregate without being familiar with the layout e.g. cinemas, theatres, shoppingcentres and also tunnel applications.The focus of Prysmian research and development has been to reduce potential hazards by developing materials that will notpropagate flame, contribute less smoke and emit by-products that are less corrosive. These performance criteria are part ofAustralian and International Standards that Prysmian 's range of Fire Performance cables are tested to conform to.IN A FIRE OUR CABLES BUY VITAL TIME, AND TIME SAVES LIVES.02
