BS 7629-1 Standard 60 Fire Cable: Datasheet Reading and Project Fit

BS 7629-1 Standard 60 appears in ZION's catalog as a distinct fire cable family with Class 5 flexible conductors, silicone rubber insulation, PET foil screen, LSZH sheath, and several related standard references.

Standard 60 is a specific family The catalog lists BS 7629-1:2015 Standard 60 STR Flexible Cable as its own datasheet entry.
Multiple references appear together The entry references BS 6387 CWZ, EN 50200 Annex E, and BS 5839-1 Clause 26.2d standard context.
The construction is practical for flexible routes The product family uses Class 5 flexible conductors and a listed minimum bending radius of 8× cable diameter.
When a project references BS 7629-1 Standard 60, the datasheet should be read as a complete specification rather than only a standard name. ZION's entry includes construction, reference standards, electrical data, temperature range, size table, and code notes.

Reference Standards Listed in the Datasheet

The BS 7629-1 Standard 60 entry lists BS 7629-1:2015, BS 6387:2013 (CWZ), EN 50200:2015 Annex E (30 mins), BS 5839-1:2013 Clause 26.2d standard, EN / IEC 60754-1:2014 for acidity, and EN / IEC 61034-2:2005+A1:2013 for smoke density.

Construction Details

The cable uses plain annealed copper wire Class 5 stranded flexible conductors, special mix silicone rubber insulation, PET foil with more than 120% coverage as first screen, tinned copper drain wire with OD 0.80 mm, aluminum polyester tape with more than 120% coverage as second screen, and thermoplastic low smoke halogen free outer sheath.

Block Catalog Detail Selection Meaning
Conductors Plain annealed copper wire, Class 5 STR flexible Supports flexible routing and installation handling.
Insulation Special mix silicone rubber Part of the fire cable construction.
Screens PET foil and aluminum polyester tape Screened construction with drain wire.
Sheath Thermoplastic low smoke halogen free Supports low smoke and halogen-free material requirements.

Electrical and Installation Data

The entry lists insulation resistance above 200 M Ohm*Km, 2000 V / 2000 V core-core/core-screen test voltage, mutual capacitance below 150 nF/km, operating voltage of 300/500 V, operation from -30℃ up to +180℃, installation from -5℃ up to +50℃, and minimum bending radius of 8× cable diameter.

FAQ

Is BS 7629 Standard 60 the same as EN 50200 PH120?

No. They are different references. The Standard 60 datasheet lists its own standard context and also references EN 50200 Annex E for 30 minutes.

What conductor class does the ZION Standard 60 entry use?

The catalog entry lists Class 5 stranded flexible conductors.

What sheath material is listed?

The datasheet lists thermoplastic low smoke halogen free outer sheath.
