The first ever two-hour, fire rated coaxial cable for Distributed Antenna System (DAS) installations is now available by leading manufacturer, American Fire Wire. Public Safety DAS enables wireless connectivity within radiuses, however, they can fail to withstand emergency scenarios such as floods, fires, and earthquakes. This diminishes communication amongst first-responder teams without the proper deployment.<\/p>\n

According to the ASTM E119 standard, cables are required to continually operate for two hours once exposed to fire at 1850 degrees. The 50-Ohm, two-hour fire rated coaxial cable meets the requirements of NFPA 72, NFPA 1221, and IFC Section 510, fire codes set forth for Emergency Responder Radio Coverage Systems (ERRCS). These mandates are to be followed in all new building structures and renovations. In addition to the above, DAS system deployments vary in complexity depending on the structural design. The cellular signal equipment your organization decides to deploy at the planning phase impacts its overall performance. The Peer Communications team of experts ensures to design and assemble a solution that adheres to your project needs in a cost-effective fashion.<\/p>\n

American Fire Wire’s novel addition to their product suite of coaxial cables and connectors, offers a cost-effective solution for project owners installing or retrofitting their DAS system. In order to provide greater flexibility during installation, the cable leverages braided technology and offers an improved bending radius. These Cables are able to successfully transport wireless signals inside of buildings and meet codes put forth by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) and the International Fire Code (IFC), when paired with the optimal consolidation of antennas and amplifiers. Consequently, organizations are able to rely on a more efficient and cost-effective solution for their operations. Peer Communications, Inc. foresees the need to revamp critical DAS capabilities due to today\u2019s maturing technological infrastructures.<\/p>\n
