This product passed the UL196 fire test and fire hose test without being installed in conduit and therefore was given the designation of CI (Fire Alarm Circuit Integrity Cable) as defined in Article 760 of the National Electrical Code. Whether installing in conduit or not, this feature can provide considerable cost savings over other hour rated installations that typically require fire-rated walls and strict conduit support spacing standards. Meets survivability requirements and NFAC. Both conductors are black with words 1. Black &. Red. 36

FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS CORRA/CLAD MC CABLE CORRA/CLAD Corrugated Aluminum Sheath Separator Tape Fillers Type TFN, TFFN or THHN Insulation Copper Conductor UL LISTED MC CABLE Corra/Clad is constructed in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., standard for Metal-Clad Cable (UL 1569). Corra/Clad meets or exceeds interlocked MC cable. Corra/Clad can be used everywhere interlocked MC cable can be used plus additional places MC cable can t be used. HEALTH CARE FACILITIES Corra/Clad s outer jacket is an approved grounding means of a listed cable assembly and employs a continuous, gas/vapor tight metal sheath. Corra/Clad is permitted for use in hospitals and health care facilities, including all patient care areas per Article 517-13(a) and (b). A properly sized ground must also be a part of the listed assembly. When Corra/Clad is ordered with a separate ground the green ground wire is marked ISOLATED GROUND COND. For Health Care Facility wiring Corra/Clad has quickly become the preferred method of wiring for these facilities. (Consult local authorities for special inclusions or restrictions.) FIRE RESISTANT Due to its solid fill construction, smoke can not chimney through the continuous sheath. This lack of oxygen makes Corra/Clad and Metal Clad squared fire resistant. Corra/Clad may be used in a plenum area per Article 300-(b) of the NEC. FIRE/CLAD MC CABLE Our Fire/Clad MC Cable is Corra/Clad cable with a red ink coloring on the aluminum sheath to designate the cable as part of a fire alarm system. Fire/Clad and Corra/Clad is dual rated as MC Cable and as FPL Cable. 38

FIBER OPTIC CABLE Fiber optic cables represent the state of the art in high speed, secure communications. For LANs, WANs, long distance CCTV and integrated security and fire products, fiber optics are the cable of choice. Paige Electric has been a leading supplier of Fiber Optic Products for decades. Using our team of highly trained personnel, Paige can help you choose the most cost effective fiber optic solution. We offer products for indoor / outdoor / aerial / burial / chemical or zero halogen installations. The following pages provide a brief primer on fiber optic cables followed by a sample of some of our most commonly used constructions. 75
FIBER OPTIC CABLE BASIC FACTS ADVANTAGES secure transmission RFI/EMI noise immunity Lightning and high voltage interference immunity total electrical isolation wide range of operating temperatures low attenuation high bandwidth small diameter and light weight easy installation custom configurations excellent customer support Optical fiber consists of three basic structures: the core, cladding and coating. Transmission occurs through the glass or plastic core. Light waves are transmitted down the length of the fiber by way of the interaction between the core and the cladding. The cladding provides a lower refractive index at the core interface which causes reflection of light exclusively within the core. Multi-layers of plastic are applied to provide fiber protection. The coating on the glass fibers enables them to be handled and processed into cable form. There are two types of fiber relative to the paths that the light rays, or modes, travel within the fiber core: Fiber Structure Cross Section of Optical Fiber Core Cladding Coating Multimode and single mode. Multimode fiber cores are classified as either step or graded index, depending on the refractive index. Step index multimode fiber has a uniform core and an abrupt change in refractive index at the core/cladding interface. In graded index multimode fiber the core contains many layers of glass, each with a lower index of refraction. 76
FIBER OPTIC CABLE BASIC FACTS ADVANTAGES The light modes taking longer paths travel faster than the modes taking the straighter paths. This allows for all the light modes to be received at the same time. The main characteristic of single modefiber is that only a single light light ray, or mode, is transmitted down the core. Since the light pulses do not overlap, distortion is eliminated. Graded index fibers are commercially available with core diameter/ cladding diameters of 50/15, 6.5/15, and 100/10 microns. Single mode fibers have a smaller core, typically 8.5µm, but also have 15µm cladding diameter. Coatings are available from 50 microns to 900 microns.

FIBER OPTIC CABLE GLOSSARY OF TERMS Attenuation Loss of signal power between points. In optical cables, attenuation is a ratio of input power vs. output power, measured in decibels per unit length, usually db/km. Backbone A high-speed transmission system used to connect relatively distant points. Backbone networks can be used to join autonomous networks within buildings or between different buildings. Bandwidth The information carrying capacity of a fiber. The bandwidth for a given wavelength is the lowest frequency at which optical power has decreased by 3 db and is expressed in MHz-km. Bend Radius The radius of curvature that an optical fiber cable can bend without causing harmful effects on the optical or mechanical performance of the cable. C h r o m a t i c Dispersion Different wavelengths travel along an optical medium at different speeds. Wavelengths reach the end of the medium at different times, causing the light pulse to spread. This chromatic dispersion is expressed in picoseconds (of dispersion) per kilometer (of length) per nanometer (of source bandwidth). It is the sum of material and waveguide dispersion. Cladding The layer of material, usually glass, that immediately surrounds the fiber core. The cladding is usually coated with another material to provide protection when handling. Core The central part of the glass construction through which light is transmitted. Cut-off Wavelength The wavelength at which a single-mode fiber transmits a single mode of light. Dielectric Non-metallic. All-dielectric designs are inherently non-conductive; all-dielectric cables contain no metal and are lightning resistant. Graded Index A core refractive index profile that varies with the radius of the core. Loss Budget The total acceptable loss for a given system from transmitter to receiver. Includes cables, 78
FIBER OPTIC CABLE GLOSSARY OF TERMS splices and connectors. Material Dispersion Pulse dispersion due to the variations in a material s refractive index as a function of wavelength. Microbending Minute but sever bends in fiber that result in light displacement and increased loss. Most microbending can be avoided by the correct selection of materials and proper cabling, handling, and installation techniques. Mode A path of light through a fiber. Mode Field Diameter In single-mode fiber, the region in which light propagates is larger than the glass core diameter. This mode field diameter is a measured value and often listed as a requirement with core diameter in fiber specifications. Numerical Aperture In fiber optics, the sine of half the angle over which a fiber can accept light, it is a function of the relationship between the refractive index of the core and that of the cladding. Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (DTDR) An instrument that measures transmission characteristics of fiber by sending a pulse of light down the fiber and measuring the light scattered across the length and reflected back from the end as a function of time. Used to measure attenuation, point discontinuities and fiber length, as well as to find breaks. Refractive Index The ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a material. Also called Index of Refraction. Step Index A refractive index profile characterized by a uniform refractive index within the core and a sharp decrease at the core-cladding interface. Waveguide Dispersion Dispersion caused by the fact that light travels at different speeds in the core and cladding of single-mode fibers. Zero Dispersion Wavelength In single-mode fibers, the wavelength at which the effects of chromatic dispersion and waveguide dispersion are lowest, thus providing the greatest information carrying capacity. 79
