Nexans, the worldwide leader in the cable industry, is pleased to announce the launch of its new ALSECURE NX 200 and NX 200 PLUS ranges of fire-resistant building cables.
The Alsecure NX range has been developed to ensure continued operation of vital safety systems for the critical evacuation periods required by the highest UK standards (with BASEC and LPCB type approvals), while also being exceptionally easy to handle and install.
The ALSECURE NX200 and NX200 PLUS fire-resistant cables have been developed by Nexans to ensure the continued operation of building safety systems such as fire detection, emergency lighting, voice alarm, public address, smoke evacuation and so on during the evacuation and fire-fighting period. NX200 cables are for use on all properties where an evacuation period is required (in compliance with BS5839-8434 part 1, PH30) while NX200 PLUS cables are intended for applications where phased evacuation is required (in compliance with BS5839-8434 part 2, PH120) such as hospitals, schools and high-rise buildings.
In addition to meeting extreme fire conditions for extended periods, the ALSECURE NX200 and NX200 PLUS cables are halogen-free and flame retardant, with minimal smoke emission Nexans has paid particular attention to making the NX200 and NX200 PLUS cables easy to install. There are no extra tapes to remove, they are easy to strip and they retain their memory. The ALSECURE NX200 and NX200 PLUS cables are supplied on easy carry colour-coded reusable plastic reels – with a unique pop-up handle. For fast and easy roll-outs the reels can also be used in conjunction with Nexans own rolling device system.
The ALSECURE NX200 and NX200PLUS ranges offer a wide choice of core count and conductor sizes for use with AC and DC voltages of 300/500V. They form part of a developing range that will also include singlecore and armoured cables as well as fire-reaction cables, and are backed-up by Nexans’ full uk technical and logistical support.
