Fire Rated Cables

Fire Rated Cables

A fire rated cable is engineered to maintain circuit integrity—power, signal, or control—during fire exposure. In life-safety systems, backup power installations, and critical infrastructure, these cables ensure continuity during fire conditions, enabling safe evacuation, firefighting operations, and emergency functionality.

Fire rated cables are essential in applications such as:

  • Emergency lighting and exit signage

  • Fire alarm systems

  • Emergency power supplies (EPS) and diesel generator interconnections

  • Smoke extraction & ventilation controls

  • Fire pumps and sprinkler system power

  • Security and surveillance systems

These cables, designed to withstand high temperatures and remain operational during fires, are vital to protect lives and infrastructure.

At Liya Electricals, we proudly offer fire rated cables from two recognized European brands—Prysmian and Norden—delivering uncompromised safety, regulatory compliance, and performance.
