Radix announces new Duralife II dual-rated CI/CIC ethernet cables

Radix Wire & Cable is pleased to announce the addition of the DuraLife II dual-rated CIC/CI ethernet FPLR cables to the Fire Protection product line. Certified to the harsh requirements of the UL 2196 Test for Fire Resistive Cables, the new DuraLife ethernet cables ensure two-hour operation of critical data and communication systems in the event of a fire. The dual-rating design offers the most versatility in meeting code survivability requirements in both in-conduit and free air installation scenarios while meeting Category-3 channel requirements per TIA-568.C.2. Cables are available in 2, 3 and 4 pair shielded and non-shielded constructions.

‘The Radix team is proud to add this latest solution to the most comprehensive package of fire-rated fire-alarm cables in the industry,’ says Radix DuraLife Business Unit Manager, Danielle Purewal. ‘Built for critical circuits such as Area of Refuge and Emergency VoIP communication systems, the ethernet Cat-3 product line is ideal for pathway survivability requirements in hospitals, high-rise buildings, stadiums, college campuses and government facilities.’

Radix is the leading authority on two-hour fire-rated cables, offering award-winning products, including the only UL 2196 certified Circuit Integrity FPLP free air cable and the broadest line of FPLR multiconductor cables for the industry’s most complete package of two-hour fire certified fire resistive cables.

In 2014, Radix was the first company to receive flexible, silicone-insulated cable UL 2196 re-certification after UL changed the standard in 2012. Radix continues as the industry’s innovation leader with products that satisfy the most demanding applications for circuit integrity.
