Fireproof cables for use in buildings

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses fireproof cables used in buildings, compliant with the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR). This regulation aims to enhance safety by reducing fire risks and damages. Since July 1, 2016, all permanently installed cables in buildings must adhere to this regulation, which introduces a new classification system for cables based on fire safety criteria.
Fire Classifications and Recommendations
The regulation classifies cables into different fire classes, such as B2ca and Cca, based on safety requirements. For buildings with very high safety needs, B2ca s1 d1 a1 cables are recommended, while Cca s1 d1 a1 cables are suitable for high safety requirements. The ZVEI (German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association) provides recommendations for these classifications.
LEONI's Product Offerings
LEONI Fiber Optics offers a range of cables classified under these fire classes. Their FiberConnect 19" product line includes cables suitable for various safety requirements, with new additions to meet the demand for B2ca and Cca classifications. Detailed information and performance declarations for LEONI products are available on their website.
Fire Classes and Cable Properties
The document includes a table listing various cable types, their fire properties, and LEONI order numbers. Key properties include smoke production, acidity, and flaming droplets. The table categorizes cables into classes B2ca, Cca, Dca, and Eca, each with specific safety features and applications.
Conclusion
While the EU has not yet specified legal requirements for new building projects based on these fire classes, organizations like ZVEI have provided guidance. LEONI continues to offer a wide range of cable types to meet different building safety requirements.

Since 1 July 2016, all cables permanently installed in the building are also subject to the Construction Products Regulation. The regulation prescribes a new classification of cable according to different criteria that has been in effect since then. Based on these criteria, organisations like ZVEI have issued recommendations for the cables and fire classifications to be used. For instance, the installation of cables in fire class B2ca s1 d1 a1 is recommended for buildings with very high safety requirements and cables in fire class Cca s1d1a1 for buildings with high safety requirements.

In the absence of binding legal requirements organisations like ZVEI (German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association) prepared a recommendation, combining the new fire classes with the additional properties and assigning these to the safety requi-rementsof the building.
