Did you know that not all cables meet the standards your project demands? 😟

Some cables might look the part, but beneath the surface, many fall short on quality, safety, and compliance.

Here are 5 critical risks to watch out for:
πŸ”₯ Safety Hazards
βš™οΈ Non-Compliance with UK Standards
πŸ§ͺ Poor Performance & Short Lifespan
πŸ’Έ Hidden Costs Over Time
βš–οΈ Legal & Ethical Risks

Just remember, low cost doesn’t always mean good value. If the spec seems too good to be true... it probably is.

πŸ“© Let’s talk. We’ll help make sure your project is powered by safe, certified, and high-performance cables that won’t let you down.

What’s the difference between Standard and Enhanced fire-resistant cables? πŸ€”

The KEY difference lies in how long each type of cable can maintain circuit integrity during a fire.

🚨 Standard Fire-Resistant Cables 🚨
Standard fire-resistant cables are tested to survive up to 30–60 minutes, depending on the application β€” suitable for most fire detection and alarm systems in single-phase evacuation buildings.

VS

🚨 Enhanced Fire-Resistant Cables 🚨
Enhanced fire-resistant cables go further, withstanding up to 120 minutes. They’re ideal for more complex buildings, such as those over 30m tall or with phased evacuation strategies, especially when no sprinklers are in place.

Choosing the right cable type is critical for safety and compliance.
