What is FP200 Gold?

FP200 Gold is a “Standard” fire resistant cable specially designed to meet the requirements of BS 7629-1 for fire detection, fire alarm and emergency lighting systems in buildings. Prysmian invented the first extruded polymer fire resistant cables and FP200 Gold is the result of expertise and experience of our scientists and engineers. FP200 Gold is assessed and certified by independent accredited bodies, LPCB and BASEC.

True Fire Resistance

Prysmian FP200 Gold is a ‘Standard’ fire-resistant cable, meaning it’s designed to maintain circuit integrity for at least 30 minutes in the event of fire. Prysmian FP200 Gold also meets the requirements of BS EN 50200, which also includes a 60-minute duration of survival for emergency lighting circuits, making it suitable for fire detection, alarm and emergency lighting systems in typical public buildings like offices and schools. ‘Standard’ cables like Prysmian FP200 Gold are tested to withstand flame, impact and water spray, ensuring reliable operation in emergency scenarios.

Easy First-fix

FP200 Gold uses the original FP concept of a pliable aluminium tube construction. This allows installers to 'dress’ cable to the desired cable route without ‘spring-back’ or ‘memory’. It also allows straightening and reverse bending, which is particularly important in enclosed voids or cabinets, where final cable routes may change.

Less mess

Its compact, innovative construction eliminates the need for any additional chalk or powders inside the cable to help sheath removal and it has no additional glass-fibre tapes, reducing waste and mess.

Easy termination

With the outer sheath bonded to the inner aluminium screen along its entire length, sheath removal is easy and reliable. With a light, shallow cut and a quick snap, the sheath is easily removed and comes away readily in a single piece, quickly exposing the cores.
