LOW-SMOKE CABLE NOW AVAILABLE

A new flame resistant/low smoke jacketed control cable has been developed by The Okonite Company, especially suitable for installation in subway tunnels for signal and communications controls. Smoke emission from the new cable is reduced approximately 55% compared with standard design when subjected to external flame. The small amount of smoke given off is white or translucent, but believed to be of sufficient density to actuate smoke-detecting equipment.
