Cables in Fire Situations

Cables in fire situations is a complicated many faceted issue. It is not possible to accurately predict how cables will behave in fires due to the many variables involved. All a cable manufacturer is able to do is to conduct a series of specific scaled tests in a controlled manner and compare the performance of cable with different designs and materials. Different materials give the cable different attributes but all attributes cannot always be achieved together.
