12,000 metres of FP PLUS from Prysmian have been installed in the upgraded fire alarm system at the Southampton General Hospital Neurology centre. This New Generation FP PLUS cable with Insudite insulation offers excellent resistance to damage whilst also being approved for fire detection and fire alarm critical signal paths to BS 5839-1:2002+A2:2008 for enhanced applications.
FP Plus is manufactured by Prysmian near Southampton at Eastleigh and Southampton based electrical contractors Reavey & Son carried out the cable installation work.
Contracts Manager at Reavey & Son Russell Miller commented: “Prysmian FP PLUS was the specified product on this job and this came as no surprise as we often find this is the case on buildings like hospitals that need the best money can buy.” He added: “FP PLUS is not only durable but also easy to work with, quick to install and is trusted by our in house team of cable installers.”
In addition to approvals to BS7629-1 and BS6387 Category CWZ, FP PLUS has received BASEC and LPCB approval to BS5839-1:2002 for enhanced applications. This includes approval to BS EN 50200 Class PH120 and the new integrated fire, shock and water test BS8434-2 for 120 minutes. All Prysmian FP PLUS cables are manufactured under an ISO 9001 Quality System certified by BASEC.
