Transit Section VITALINK®-2-HOUR-FIRE-RESISTIVE-DUAL-RATED-CI-CIC-CABLE

Application :

Fire & Life Safety

Description:

Rated as both Circuit Integrity (CI) and Circuit Integrity in Conduit (CIC), VITALink® CI/CIC cables can be installed either with or without conduit, depending on the application and code requirements. As CI, also referred to as CI Free Air, VITALink® can be used in riser or horizontal (non-plenum) installations without conduit. The cable must be installed per the NEC code and meet all national and local code requirements. As CIC, VITALink® cable must be installed as the UL listed FHIT System 40A or FHIT7 System 40A and in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions. These systems require use of specific hardware including conduit, couplings, pulling lubricant, pull boxes, and supports. In areas such as plenum airspace, VITALink® must be installed in conduit.
