Circuit Integrity Cable

Ci stands for circuit integrity nec circuit integrity cables are all riser rated and may be used in the vertical spaces which run from floor to floor behind the walls of a building cic cables are circuit integrity in conduit cables.

Circuit integrity cable.

Dekoron wire cable pioneered the use of circuit integrity cables as early as 1992. Visit product page for full product specs. The cable s soft and flexible insulating material changes state when exposed to high temperature conditions creating a fire resistant insulator to protect the conductors. For circuit integrity cables one simply uses a full scale wall panel test loops the cables through the fire energises the cables and quantifies the current carrying capacity of the cables during the fire.

Circuit integrity ci cable is typically soft jacketed with solid conductors and is listed for use in fire alarm and voice communications systems. Circuit integrity cables are meant to perform in the event of a fire or other similar emergency. Abs aproved ci cables are suitable for shipboard. In addition to the dual rated ci cic cables vitalink now includes the industry s only armored and ethernet cables approved to ul 2196.

Since then dekoron has continued to improve its circuit integrity cables and expand it s offerings to include more size and configurations. The safe t line cables from belden ensure continued operation of a building s evac systems in event of fire. Cic cable is part of allied s line of belden fire alarm cable. Belden s line of ci cable is designed for use in fire alarm systems and emergency voice alarm communications systems also known as evac systems for short.

Cic stands for circuit integrity in conduit it is flame retardant cable and features a low smoke zero halogen polyethylene jacket. There are two ways of achieving circuit integrity. Cec and csa listed fas 105 to c22 2 no. For use as ci cable installation follows the nec and local code.

Belden offers a full line of bs 6387 and lpcb approved fire resistive 3 hour rated new generation circuit integrity ci cables.
