But what is FRLS cable<\/strong>, and how is it different from standard cables? Let\u2019s break it down.<\/p>\n \\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n FRLS<\/strong> stands for Fire Resistant Low Smoke<\/strong>. An FRLS cable<\/strong> is a type of electrical cable specially designed to reduce the spread of fire and emit low smoke and toxic gases<\/strong> when exposed to high heat or flame.<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n These cables help protect people during a fire by:<\/p>\n \\n\\n<\/p>\n Slowing down flame propagation<\/p>\n \\n<\/li>\n \\n \\t<\/p>\n Reducing smoke density<\/p>\n \\n<\/li>\n \\n \\t<\/p>\n Lowering emission of harmful gases (like HCl)<\/p>\n \\n<\/li>\n \\n<\/ul>\n \\n\\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n While FRLS cables may look similar to standard PVC cables on the outside, they use modified compounds<\/strong> with enhanced fire safety properties.<\/p>\n \\n\\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/tr>\n \\n<\/thead>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/tr>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/tr>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/tr>\n \\n<\/tbody>\n \\n<\/table>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p><\/div>\n \\n<\/p><\/div>\n \\n<\/p><\/div>\n \\n<\/p>\n In many cases, FRLS cables conform to IS 694<\/strong>, IEC 60332<\/strong>, and similar safety standards.<\/p>\n \\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n FRLS cables are ideal for enclosed or populated spaces where fire safety is critical.
