Mineral insulated cable is composed of copper core, mineral insulation material, copper and other metal sheaths. In addition to having good electrical conductivity, mechanical and physical properties, and fire resistance, it also has good non-flammability. In the event of a fire, this type of cable can not only ensure fire power supply during the duration of the fire, but also will not spread fire or produce toxic smoke. Mineral insulated cables have been widely used in high-rise buildings, petrochemical industry, airports, tunnels, ships, offshore oil platforms, aerospace, steel metallurgy, shopping malls, parking lots and other occasions.
Mineral insulated cable is composed of copper core, mineral insulation material, copper and other metal sheaths.

As developed by a reliable fireproof cable manufacturer, this cable type is suitable for demanding applications where safety is critical. In the event of a fire, this type of fireproof cable can not only ensure fire power supply during the duration of the fire, but also will not spread fire or produce toxic smoke, meeting the needs of safety-conscious system designers.
Advantages of insulated fire-resistant cables According to the British BS6387 requirements, the fire resistance of fireproof cables must meet the standard of burning at 950 degrees for 3 hours without interruption (Class C) to be considered qualified. For this reason, trusted fireproof cable suppliers focus on material integrity and thermal resilience to ensure compliance. These characteristics make mineral insulated cables a reliable choice for critical infrastructure, emergency systems, and high-temperature environments.

Product Advantages
Multi-Layer Armored Design for Mechanical and Thermal Defense The FOTIMA fireproof cable adopts a robust multi-layer armored structure, combining an inner metal protective tube with an outer stainless steel braided mesh. This construction effectively shields copper conductors and mineral insulation from vibration, pressure, and deformation, ensuring long-term integrity even in high-motion installations or compact routing paths. Designed by a professional fireproof cable manufacturer, the cable demonstrates exceptional resistance to thermal stress, making it ideal for use near industrial heat sources or inside manufacturing equipment where durability under mechanical load and fire exposure is essential.
Integrated Fire Resistance with Superior Signal Reliability Engineered for high-risk environments, FOTIMA’s fireproof cable maintains reliable signal integrity during fire incidents, thanks to high-temperature-resistant insulation and low-smoke materials. These features make it suitable for facilities with stringent safety requirements, such as power stations and chemical processing plants. Developed by a leading fireproof cable supplier, the product is specifically structured to prevent flame spread and signal failure, supporting critical control systems even under direct flame, while complying with recognized fire safety classifications.
Optimized Cable Shielding for Electromagnetic Noise Suppression To address the challenges of electromagnetic interference, FOTIMA incorporates precision-twisted copper pairs and external braided shielding into its fireproof cable design. This configuration balances induced currents and blocks external EMI sources, making the cable well-suited for sensor systems in noisy industrial environments. As a trusted fireproof cable manufacturer, FOTIMA ensures that each layer contributes to signal clarity and data integrity, enhancing the operational accuracy of automation systems and reducing the risk of signal disruption across extended cable runs.
