The Hermesys ChimeraX™ Uni SS Tube cable is a stainless steel tube fiber optic cable reinforced with corrugated steel tape and steel wire armour, purpose-built for critical fire-safety applications. Its double fire-retardant construction is designed to maintain circuit integrity during a fire event, supporting life-safety and critical infrastructure systems in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features and Benefits
- Stainless steel loose tube protects the fiber core against crushing, corrosion, and rodent damage beyond what a standard thermoplastic tube offers
- Dual steel wire strength members combined with corrugated steel tape and steel wire armour give multi-layer mechanical protection for harsh routing and burial
- Meets stringent circuit-integrity fire survival requirements, keeping critical safety and communication systems operational during a fire event
- Double FR-LSOH jacket (inner and outer) with UV resistance reduces toxic smoke release while withstanding long-term outdoor exposure
- Jelly-filled tube and water blocking tape prevent moisture ingress along the cable core
- Wide -40°C to +70°C operating range suits extreme industrial and outdoor climates
- High installation tension and crush resistance, with no measurable water leakage after extended immersion testing, for confidence in demanding deployments
Typical Applications
- Fire Alarm and Life-Safety Systems
- Critical Infrastructure and Heavy Industrial Facilities
- Petrochemical, Oil & Gas, and Power Generation Sites
- Outdoor and UV-Exposed Installations
