Unlike traditional Linear Heat Detection (LHD) systems that rely on electrical sensing, Fiber-Optic Linear Heat Detection (FO-LHD) systems use fiber optic cables, offering significant advantages in safety,
Fiber uses light to transmit data at incredible speeds over long distances. In fire systems, this allows faster alerting, better system communication, and stronger connections between buildings
A 2-hour fire-rated fiber optic cable utilizes non-combustible materials that prevent ignition or flame spread, which is crucial for keeping emergency paths clear and
If your fire and security systems rely on fast, uninterrupted communication, fibre optic cabling is the best choice. It offers superior performance, security, and reliability compared to
Fiber optics use pulses of light to transmit data across strands of glass. Because fiber is immune to electromagnetic interference, it''s ideal for buildings with high electrical noise, long cable runs, or strict
While fiber optics eliminate electrical ignition sources, fiber cables still require proper safety measures in explosive atmospheres. The light transmitted through fiber, especially from high
Fiber optic cables are essential parts of the FO-LHD fire detection system and must be certified together with the interrogator unit (DTS) by an approved body in accordance to national standards and
For fire-critical areas, choose fire-resistant, LSZH fiber optic cables that are certified (e.g., FE180 and CPR B2ca) to maintain transmission and minimise smoke/toxic gases during a fire.
Section 770.49 of NFPA 70 states that optical fiber cables installed as wiring within buildings are to be listed as being resistant to the spread of fire in accordance with sections 770.50 and 770.51.
This innovative cable features a patented design that ensures functionality for over three hours in temperatures reaching 1000ºC. It is halogen-free and flame-retardant, providing protection against
