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. One may either choose mineral insulated or otherwise fire resistant tested for that. Since then dekoron has continued to improve its circuit integrity cables and expand it s offerings to include more size and configurations. 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.

Circuit integrity cables include power cables and communication cables used as safety cables to construct cable systems with circuit integrity according to din 4102 part 12 in buildings with a fire hazard and a high concentration of people or material assets as well as in case of other high level of safety requirements. The safe t line cables from belden ensure continued operation of a building s evac systems in event of fire. Abs aproved ci cables are suitable for shipboard. There are two ways of achieving circuit integrity.
