Digital Linear Heat Sensing Cables in UAE
Introduction
Digital Linear heat sensing cable is a specialised flexible fire detection cable capable of detecting fire anywhere along its length making it essential for critical infrastructure across the UAE and wider Gulf region where early fire detection is crucial. The digital linear heat sensing cable consists of twisted pair of extremely low resistance tri metallic conductors which can measure temperature across distances up to 3000m. Insulation using advanced thermal polymer materials rated for 1.1 kV has been tested at rated ambient temperatures between 68 °C to 78 °C or 88 °C to 105 °C, providing appropriate performance in a wide range of extremely challenging industrial environments in the GCC, such as petrochemical plants, marine port facilities, and systems associated with large-scale logistics.
As a reputable manufacturer of digital linear heat detection cables for the UAE and Gulf countries, our cables have minimum bend radii of 50 mm above 0°C and 100 mm below 0°C while providing an accurate resistance of 100 Ohm/km and will react quickly to fires.
