Ducab FlamBICC 2a 4-Core + Earth 1.5mm² Solid Fire Resistant Cable – Red, 500m Roll (FP-200 Equivalent)

The Ducab FlamBICC 2a (1.5 mm2 4 Core + Earth) in Red is a high-specification, Enhanced Fire Resistant cable. While the 2-core and 3-core versions are standard for simple loops, the 4-core Red version is a specialized cable used for complex fire alarm systems where additional signal paths or power cores are required within a single fire-rated run. This is an Enhanced (Category 2a) fire-performance cable, engineered to maintain electrical circuit integrity for 120 minutes during a fire. It is designed to survive not only extreme heat but also the combination of mechanical impact (falling debris) and direct water spray (from sprinklers). The cable is “dressable,” meaning it can be neatly shaped and bent during installation while maintaining its position, which is ideal for visible surface-mounted installations.
