Ducab 2.5MM 4 Core + Earth Flambicc 2a Fire Resistant Cable Wire (500MTR/ROLL) White – Solid Wire (equivalent to FP-200)

The Ducab FlamBICC 2a (2.5 mm2 4 Core + Earth) in White is an industrial-grade, Enhanced Fire Resistant cable. While the red version is the mainstay of fire alarm loops, the White 4-core version is a specialized cable typically used for complex emergency lighting control, networked voice evacuation (EVAC), and fire curtains where multiple control signals must be maintained during a fire. This is an Enhanced (Category 2a) fire-performance cable, engineered to maintain electrical circuit integrity for 120 minutes under extreme conditions. The “4 Core + Earth” configuration allows for more complex wiring—such as providing both power and auxiliary return signals or controlling multi-zone emergency lighting—within a single, fire-protected run. It is a “dressable” cable, meaning it can be neatly shaped by hand during installation while retaining its form.
