Fire-resistive cables are used in situations where the application requires the cable to be able to operate in the presence of fire. Lifeline® Fire Resistant Cable is a 2-hour rated cable, meaning Lifeline fire resistive cables were designed to meet and have successfully passed the two-hour fire rating certification test per UL 2196, Standard for Tests for Fire Resistive Cables.

Lifeline MC Cables are preferred over Mineral Insulated (MI) cables, concrete encasement or the construction of fire rated assemblies based on the facts that Lifeline MC Cables are less costly and easier to install for many applications. They have been tested and verified to meet industry requirements for circuit integrity, fire code, and performance criteria under various conditions.
