FumeGuard™ cables are rated to a maximum sustained conductor operating temperature of 90°C. This giving FumeGuard™ cables a better current rating capacity, Table 4E2A of BS7671 Wiring Regulations, and hence provides the opportunity for using a reduced conductor size when compared to 70°C rated low smoke zero halogen or low smoke fume cable equivalents.
