Draka Saffire 6242B Flat Twin Core Zero Halogen Low Smoke Cables
Low Smoke Zero Halogen Cables
Draka Saffire 6242B
Prysmian Draka Saffire 6242B is a flat, twin core zero halogen low smoke power cable ideal for use in non-emergency systems within public buildings where a reduction in the volume of smoke and acid gas emissions is beneficial.
Draka Saffire 6242B cable is designed for installation either clipped direct, onto a cable tray or in a wire basket, buried within plaster or embedded into walls.
This is a zero halogen, low smoke and flame retardant alternative to standard PVC cable.
