Fire Survival Wiring Cables

Mineral Insulated Cable is the most durable cable ever made.

Having originated from the ashes of BICC (the original Manufacturer of Mineral Insulated Cable), we apply over 85 Years’ worth of experience from the ex-Directors and Staff of BICC to offer the most cost-effective solution which works. Further to this, we are the only company in the world to manufacture using the BICC seamless tube technique ensuring infallible quality for the perfect MI Cable.

We offer the full range of Heavy Duty and Light Duty cables in:

  • Copper sheath
  • Alloy 825 sheath

Life safety and firefighting equipment often rely on the integrity of the essential wiring system to enable evacuation & firefighting operations. Unlike plastic FP fire cable, and “flame-retardant” cables, MI cable offer proven 3-hour escape times in “Real World” fire conditions.

If a building, tunnel, underground car park etc. has a ‘Required Safe Evacuation Time” of more than 10 minutes, there is only one suitable choice of cable: Mineral Insulated Cable.

MI Vs FR & FP Cables

Seamless Tube Mineral Insulated Cable is without question the ultimate fire survival electrical cable system.

Mineral Insulated Cable is the only wiring system that can survive real-world fire conditions.

  • It provides proven up to 3-hour escape time in ‘Real World’ fire conditions.
  • The only electric cable to pass modern furnace tests – i.e. German standard ISO834-1, test DIN 4102 1000°C 90mins.
  • The only cable technology approved & listed by UL2196 for ‘unrestricted installation’.
  • Passes the BS6387 / BSEN50200 ‘Enhanced’ test.
