Ventcroft Fire Cable 1.5mm 2 Core Red 100m VFP-215ERH Enhanced Fire Resistant

Fire alarm cables are categorised by their ability to maintain circuit continuity under fire conditions. Enhanced fire-resistant (EFR) cables such as the Ventcroft VFP-215ERH are specified where the fire alarm system design requires the cable to continue operating even when exposed to flame and elevated temperatures, allowing the alarm to continue sounding and detection circuits to remain active while occupants evacuate.

The 1.5mm conductor cross-section is the standard specification for fire alarm loop wiring in the UK, providing the correct conductor resistance for the loop lengths typical of commercial and residential fire alarm system designs. The 2-core configuration provides the two conductors required for conventional fire alarm zone wiring and addressable loop segments.

The red outer sheath is the industry convention for fire alarm cabling in the UK, providing an immediate visual identification of the cable’s purpose during and after installation. Maintaining the red colour convention on fire alarm circuits makes it straightforward to identify and trace fire alarm wiring within cable management systems, junction boxes, and at the panel.

Ventcroft is a specialist UK fire cable manufacturer with products used across the fire alarm installation industry, and the VFP-215ERH is part of an established fire cable range that meets the relevant British Standards for fire alarm circuit cable.

For fire alarm installers completing detection and alarm circuit wiring across commercial, residential, and public-sector buildings in London and the UK where enhanced fire-resistant 1.5mm 2-core cable is the design specification, the Ventcroft VFP-215ERH 100m drum is the standard installer supply.
