      Fire-resistant cables are in high demand for fire safety and protection

Fire-resistant cables, also known as fire-proof cables, fire performance cables, or fire survival cables, have a strong resistance to combustion and high temperatures, are flexible, release little smoke, are non-toxic, and produce little acid gas. Fire-resistant cables are intended to aid in the preservation of circuit integrity in the event of a fire. Resistance to high temperatures, reduced smoke emission, and decrease of corrosive gasses are all properties of fire-resistant cables that help preserve and secure human life in the event of a fire. Due to the necessity for public safety against fires, the global market is experiencing a growth in demand for fire-resistant cables across numerous end-use sectors. This demonstrates the demand for and growth potential for fire-resistant cables in a variety of end-use sectors for fire protection and safety during fire mishaps or disasters. As cloud service companies seek faster internet connections, a US communications infrastructure firm will build the Zeus underwater line between the United Kingdom and continental Europe in July 2022. Almost all internet data traffic is transmitted via submarine cables. Numerous technology firms, including Alphabet's Google and Meta, have also invested in the construction of subsea cables. Extensive data can be delivered across great distances using telecom connectors via electronic or electrical techniques

     The constant use of harmful materials and substances in the fabrication of cables is extremely hazardous to the environment.

The government's increasing emphasis on phasing out PVC, lead, and halogenated flame retardants is a key source of concern for cable makers, as it may slow market growth. The need to discover alternatives to some of the harmful substances and materials led to the development of additives and resins. The growing demand for additives such as polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene polymers, which are utilized for cable insulation and jacketing, is propelling the fire-resistant cable market forward. The wire and cable sector employs a number of hazardous compounds, several of which are now subject to European prohibitions and material usage restrictions. Lead, cadmium, and antimony compounds, halogenated flame retardants, phthalates, and polyvinyl chloride are among the materials utilized.
