Fire Rated Cable
Fire Rated Cable: 2HR LSZH and Fire Alarm Cable for Fire Services Contractors
Fire rated cable is specified for circuits that must keep working during a fire, such as fire alarm wiring, emergency warning systems and fan control. This range pairs 2HR LSZH cable with fire alarm cable for panel-to-device runs, including a white stripe fire rated cable for EWIS speaker circuits.
What's in This Range
- Fire Rated Cable 1.5mm 2 Core 450/750V LSZH 250m Roll — 2HR WS52W rating, PVC-free, listed for essential services and EWIS.
- Fire Rated Cable 1.5mm 4 Core 450/750V LSZH 250m Roll — the same 2HR WS52W rating with four cores for fire alarm and fan control.
- Fire Alarm Cable 1.5mm 2 Core Twisted Red 250V 200m Roll — double insulated red sheath, ActivFire certified, for runs to addressable fire panels.

Who Uses This
Fire protection contractors and electricians use this range on commercial fit-outs, warehouse and school upgrades, and new builds where fire panels need cabling to detectors, speakers and strobes. Mechanical services crews pick the four core fire rated cable for fan control, and EWIS installers use the white stripe versions on speaker lines.
Fire Rated Cable — Common Questions
What does the white stripe on some cables mean?
The stripe separates a speaker circuit from other circuits at a glance. Product pages list the white stripe fire rated cable for EWIS speaker circuits, and the flat white stripe fire alarm cable for 100V line speaker feeds.
What is the difference between fire rated cable and fire alarm cable?
In this range, the fire rated cables are listed as 2HR WS52W with LSZH, PVC-free construction. The fire alarm cables are listed with PVC V-90 insulation and WSX1 mechanical protection to AS/NZS 3013. Both suit fire alarm and EWIS wiring.
Who should install fire rated cable?
Product pages state that installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician who knows the fire rated cable standards and local regulations. Check the listed standards against your project specification before you order.
