Prysmian’s FP200 Gold ‘standard’ and FP PLUS ‘enhanced’ cables have been installed in a five storey office block and a seven storey hotel as part of a multi-million pound redevelopment of Ancoats in Manchester.
Ashley Holt, project director for Amsec, specified the use of Prysmian FP Cables in the hotel development. He said, “We were given a number of approved choices for cables and we ultimately decided to go with FP Cables.”
FP PLUS meets the requirements of the fire alarm standard, BS 5839-1 ‘enhanced grade’ and has also received third party BASEC and LPCB approval. FP PLUS also uses enhanced Insudite, Prysmian’s insulation, which provides greater damage resistance than soft silicone insulated cables.
With Insudite insulated cores, FP200 Gold meets BS 5839-1 ‘standard’ grade and both FP200 Gold and FP PLUS are hard skinned cables which are easy to install, strip and terminate.
