Custom cables are indent items and lead times will apply. FireSense cables have all relevant certifications and approvals and are independently certified.
2HR FIRE RATED CUSTOM CABLE
FireSense custom cables are specified to meet your project requirements. Each option is designed to enhance performance, durability, and protection in real-world conditions. Examples of custom made cables include:-
Individually Screened Pairs & Overall Screened
Reduces electrical interference for sensitive systems
Ideal for audio, data, or signalling applications requiring high noise immunity
Sheath Colour
Alternate colours to suit project requirements & specifications eg black
Option to include identification markings eg white stripe
Steel Wire Armour Protection
Protects against rodents and mechanical damage
Ideal for areas of high concern & where cable integrity is critical
Black Nylon Protection
Provides termite and insect resistance
To manufacture the Steel Wire Armour and/or Black Nylon cable, the base cable is first selected, then the protective layer is applied, followed by a final outer layer of Low Smoke Zero Halogen sheath.

What is WS52W?
AS 1670.1 calls for cable with increased fire and mechanical protection. AS/NZS 3013 covers the fire and mechanical performance of wiring systems for electrical installations and stipulates the tests required to achieve compliance.
These tests ensure that a cabling system will maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions for a specified time period and from mechanical impacts during non-fire conditions.
Tests classify 3 elements with a rating, ‘WSxxx’, e.g. WS51W or WS52W measuring:
• Fire Resistance
• Impact Resistance
• Water Spray Resistance
5 Fire Resistance
The fire resistance test subjects cables to intense heat and flame conditions designed to simulate real fire scenarios.
2 Impact Testing
This represents the degree of mechanical impact and cutting force that a cable can be subjected to without failure when operating a maximum allowable continuous operating temp (i.e. 110°C).
Most mechanical services standards will require a WS52W cable as a minimum. WS51W cables cannot be used in applications where WS52W is required.
W Water Spray Resistance
Once the cable has been tested in the fire resistance test for 120mins/2hrs, the cable is then subjected to simulate a sprinkler in a true condition.
Certifications
Product certifications are essential to ensure compliance. You can trust the team at FireSense understands this, and work hard to ensure all products have best in class certifications.
FireSense 2HR Fire Rated Cables are ActivFire certified and are the only FULL range of ActivFire certified cable in Australia.
FireSense is Triple ISO accredited and certified in Quality, Environment and OH&S.
FireSense cables have RCM / Global Mark Certificates of Suitability and are compliant with all electrical regulations.
