Abstract
Heat resistant and flame retardant self-extinguishing cables and cords made with wires containing a special surrounding material used with portable communications equipment that must be able to operate in extremely hostile environments such as a fire so as to allow continual communications. These fire and heat resistant cables and cords are comprised of a special mixture of materials to manufacture a protective element to surround the communication wires.
Claims4
A heat resistant cable or cord connecting element having two ends, one end being connected to a communications transmitter and the second end being connected to a microphone or other voice transmitting device whereby said cable or cord connector comprises a series of wire transmitting elements wherein each of said wire transmitting elements enclosed therein, and a layer of a tightly wound metallic closely formed wire sheath is formed around all of the series of wires followed by a polychloroprene rubber layer surrounding said sheath and all of said wire systems so that a degree of fire retardancy and fire extinguishing ability will be provided and wherein said polychloroprene rubber layer is manufactured from the following ingredients:
