An NFPA 262 compliant flame-proof Ethernet cable is a specialized network cable, specifically designated with a CMP (Communications Multipurpose, Plenum) rating, engineered for safe installation in plenum spaces. These are the air-circulating areas in buildings, such as above drop ceilings or below raised floors. Compliance signifies that the cable has passed the rigorous Steiner Tunnel Test (NFPA 262), demonstrating low flame-spread and minimal smoke production when exposed to fire, thereby preventing the circulation of fire and toxic fumes through a building’s HVAC system.

Bespoke flame-retardant multi-conductor network wires are custom-engineered cables containing multiple insulated conductors within a single jacket designed to resist the spread of fire. These specialized wires are critical for ensuring safety and maintaining network integrity in environments where fire risk is a significant concern, such as data centers, industrial facilities, and public infrastructure. Their design prioritizes not only high-performance data transmission but also adherence to stringent fire safety codes.
