The Building and construction industry's adoption of fire-resistant cables is projected to continue growing, driven by the need for reliable fire protection systems in residential,commercial, and industrial buildings.

●      Fire-resistant cables are in high demand for fire safety and protection

Fire-resistant cables, also known as fire-proof cables, fire performance cables, or fire survival cables, have a strong resistance to combustion and high temperatures, are flexible, release little smoke, are non-toxic, and produce little acid gas. Fire-resistant cables are intended to aid in the preservation of circuit integrity in the event of a fire. Resistance to high temperatures, reduced smoke emission, and decrease of corrosive gasses are all properties of fire-resistant cables that help preserve and secure human life in the event of a fire. Due to the necessity for public safety against fires, the global market is experiencing a growth in demand for fire-resistant cables across numerous end-use sectors. This demonstrates the demand for and growth potential for fire-resistant cables in a variety of end-use sectors for fire protection and safety during fire mishaps or disasters.
