VITALink® RC90 is a 600V 2-hour fire
rated cable listed to ULC S139 with
hose stream. It is specifically designed
to meet both the electrical and fireresistive
cable requirements of NFPA
130 and NFPA 502 for emergency
communications, emergency lighting &
emergency ventilation. When installed
per Systems FHIT7 120, 120A, and
60, plus the CEC, VITALink® RC90
meets code requirements for 2-hour
Fire Rated Circuits, Electrical Circuit
Integrity Systems, Survivability and
Circuit Integrity. VITALink® RC90 Cables
offer lowered cost, reliability and ease
of installation advantages over MI cable
and other methods of providing fire rated
circuits.
The equipment grounding copper armor
is terminated with commercially available
brass MC/RC connectors and the cable
connections are made without the need
for splicing or use of special tools.
Compared to Mineral Insulated (MI)
cable, VITALink® RC90 is not exposed
to costly field expenses in preparing
cable ends, special panel penetrations,
additional flexible terminations, and
the splicing of shorter lengths in longer
runs. VITALink® RC90 is not susceptible
to failures caused by moisture ingress
through leaky seals or faulty storage. (VT03)
