Although both "combustion-retardant cable" and "fire-resistant cable" are used to improve the safety performance of cables in the event of fire, there are some differences between them.
Fireproof cable (combustion-retardant cable) is a cable that can prevent the cable from continuing to burn in the event of a fire. It uses special materials and/or coatings to slow down the burning speed and degree of burning of the cable. These cables are designed to reduce the spread of fire and prevent further damage from fire.
A fire-resistant cable is a cable that can maintain the electrical function of the cable and transmit data in the event of a fire. These cables use special materials and/or designs that can withstand high temperatures and maintain electrical performance and signal transmission capabilities for a certain period of time to maintain the safety of the building and the continuity of communications.
Therefore, the main difference between fire-resistant cables and fire-resistant cables lies in their design and purpose of use. Fire-resistant cables are designed to reduce further damage from fires, while fire-resistant cables are designed to maintain building safety and communication continuity.
