What is The Difference Between Mineral Insulated Cable and Ordinary Fireproof Cable?

Because the mineral fireproof cable is composed of inorganic substances (copper and magnesium oxide powder), it will not cause fire and will not burn or contribute to combustion. Since the melting point of copper is 1083℃ and the melting point of magnesium oxide is 2800℃, this cable can continue to supply power when a fire occurs near the melting point of copper. It is a real fireproof cable.

Flexible mineral insulated fireproof cable versus rigid (hard) mineral insulated fireproof cable.

Flexible mineral fireproof cable not only has the advantages of rigid cable fireproof, explosion-proof, temperature resistance, high current carrying capacity, etc. It also overcomes the many shortcomings of rigid mineral insulated fireproof cable, making its performance greatly improved.

Improved insulation stability: Flexible mineral fire-resistant cable retains the fire resistance of the rigid mineral insulated cable, but also has the feature of not being suitable for moisture absorption, so the insulation performance is more stable.

Full series: Flexible mineral fireproof cable can be processed into single-core or multi-core structures according to the actual needs of users, up to 96 cores, which can meet the requirements of almost all specifications of cable for construction.

Power cables and control cables

No intermediate joints: Flexible mineral fire-resistant cable adopts mature stranded cable technology and can be produced according to customer requirements, which not only reduces the cost of joints but also improves and achieves the consistency of the whole line.

Flexible and easy to install: Flexible mineral fire-resistant cables use conventional cable constructions such as twisted pairs and cabling, making the cables more flexible. At the same time, installation and laying are easier because no special terminal connectors are required.

Space-saving: Flexible mineral fire-resistant cables can be supplied with large cross-sections and long lengths of multi-core cables, avoiding unnecessary laying space caused by the arrangement of multiple cables and intermediate joints.

Public welfare: Due to the improvement of the structure of flexible mineral fireproof cable, a large number of minerals or mineral compounds are used, which not only saves copper resources but also saves a lot of energy consumption, with public welfare value also very meaningful.

Due to the fireproof cable, the copper core is mainly used as a conductor. Therefore, the price of flexible fireproof cables depends mainly on the price of copper futures trading. The price of this mineral fireproof cable (MICC cable) is strongly influenced by the purchase cost of copper. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the price of copper futures trading before purchasing fireproof cables.
