Circuit Survivability is essential for Life Safety Cabling Infrastructure Comtran Cable LLc

Industry demand is increasing for Fire Alarm Circuit Integrity cabling (CI) that will support Life and Fire Safety. Critical systems such as

(EVAC) Emergency Voice-Alarm Communication, Smoke/Fire Alarm Systems, Emergency Lighting, Fireman’s Telephone and Area of

Refuge Communication systems must offer “survivability” for 2-Hours in order for safe evacuation of building occupants. These

applications require cabling that can withstand harsh environments while being fully operational.

Comtran Cable LLC now offers a full product line of 2 Hour Fire-Rated Circuit Integrity Cables (VITALink®) which are Low Smoke, Zero

Halogen Type FPLR-CI. These robust cables were developed specifically to meet the circuit “survivability” requirements of the National

Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72). They have established a minimum 2 hour fire resistance rating by passing the applicable

requirements of UL Test Standard 2196, “Standard for Tests of Fire Resistive Cables”.

Comtran’s VITALink® products are UL Listed Type FPLR-CI, 2-hour fire-rated fire alarm cable when installed in free air (CI) or in steel

conduit (CIC) per (FHIT) System 35. They meet the requirements for Fire Alarm Circuit Integrity Cables when installed in accordance with
