16、sectors. The elements of the structure which form the boundaries of a fire sector should have fire resistance in spite of through-cable penetration positions. The fire resistance of the boundaries should be such as to ensure that the propagation of smoke and fire between fire sectors is avoided befo
17、re the extinction system is activated. In view of the large number of through-cable penetrations in the fire-sector boundaries of a telecommunication building, which diminish the effectiveness of the fire-extinction system, an appropriate strategy would consist in adopting passive smoke- and fire-co
18、ntrol measures, such as sealing of through-cable penetration positions with fire-stopping materials or the use of cable management (protection) systems. The type of cable management system will depend on the following factors: required fire-rating integrity time for walls or ceilings; construction o
19、f the fire-sector boundary; size of the cable opening; permanent sealing of cable penetrations; use of reusableh-eplaceable seals; use of inflammable pipes or ducts; number and arrangement of cables. It is recommended: that fire-stopping barriers be installed in telecommunication buildings to preven
20、t the spread of fire and smoke through openings in fire-sector boundaries; that the number of through-cable penetration positions be kept to a minimum through the design and management of the cabling network, and that “cable management systems“ be used at the penetration positions; that the minimum
21、fire separation time between fire sectors be 260 minutes, and between higher-risk fire sectors - for example, transformer rooms, rectifier and mains power switching rooms, etc. - 2 120 minutes. These recommended requirements may be tested by the method given in standard ASTM E8 14 or by other nation
22、ally authorized methods; that fire stopping materials and cable management systems which fulfil the following conditions be selected: a) they prevent the passage of smoke, flames and heat to adjacent unexposed fire sectors during the minimum specified period; b) they facilitate the installation of n
23、ew or replacement cables while maintaining the original safety conditions; Recommendation L.32 (10/98) 1 5) they have rapid sealing properties whatever the shape of the penetration opening; they will not modifi the environmental conditions, and their chemical composition will not present any health
24、hazard during installation of the fire-stopping barrier; they are resistant to ageing; they are chemically inert with respect to the cables; they have good thermal stability; they are anti-hygroscopic; they have approval certificates from authorized laboratories guaranteeing conformity with the pres
25、cribed ratings in respect of correct values: “F“ - nominal value for flame transfer to the unexposed environment; “T“ - nominal value for heat transfer to the unexposed environment; that material selected for cable management systems and fire-stopping devices be: - Intumescent When heated, they expa
26、nd, thereby forming a thick coating which provides isolation from the fire. This reaction has the effect of isolating combustible materials from both heat and oxygen, producing diluting gases and reducing inflammable gases. To obtain a perfect seal, the expansion should be restricted to filling gaps
27、, with the aid of metal collars or thin steel flanges. - Sublimable When heated, they release non-combustible gases which dilute the oxygen in the vicinity of the protected surfaces, preventing the build-up of sufficient oxygen to feed combustion. - Ablative These materials produce an incombustible
28、barrier. They are resistant to the transfer of heat and are flame inhibitors. - Endothermic Materials such as plaster or concrete, which have a high water content in their molecular composition. The heat energy produced by a fire is reduced by vaporization of the absorbed capillary humidity. APPENDI

They are often situated in awkward places, for example un
30、der control panels, in corners or beneath suspended floors. They may be up to 250 mm wide and of variable length to accommodate cables of different types and diameters.

Example 2 (see Figure 1.2) Fire-prevention cushions Wall TO604010-97 Figure 1.2L.32 - Example of the use of fire-prevention cushions The cushions are overlapped and applied with a stretcher bond, such that each layer
34、is displaced laterally with respect to the preceding layer. The opening is tightly sealed by pulling on the bags by the eyelets. Recommendation L.32 (10/98) 3 STD-ITU-T RECMN L-32-ENGL 1998 m 4862593 0655279 807 m For ceiling penetrations, a grid covering the hole is fastened to the underside of the
35、 ceiling and the cushions are placed vertically on it. 1.2 Cable-tray penetration position Cables running between the main distribution frame and switching room are generally carried on cable trays that pass through walls and floors. 1.2.1 The opening is sealed on each side of the wall or floor usin
36、g two pairs of composite metal plates, each pair being separated by intumescent material. The plates are cut for a tight fit with the cables and extend beyond the opening. They are placed on both sides of the opening and are fixed to the floor/wall. The space or gaps between the cables and between t
37、he plates and wall/floor surfaces are tightly caulked with an intumescent sealant.

38、posite plates 1.2.2 For permanent sealing of medium-sized cable penetrations which require frequent alterations to the cabling, fire-prevention bricks are used. These are preformed blocks of foam of intumescent material, but are unsuitable for exposure to weathering or UV radiation. Under the cable
39、tray the bricks are laid tightly together with joints overlapping and with alternative surfaces top and bottom. Other bricks are cut to fit snugly around the cable tray and cables. The rest of the opening is plugged with bricks, some of which will need to be cut to fit. Any remaining gaps between an

41、e of cables through floors or walls of a fire-sector partition can be effected using PVC or metal tubing, which protects the cable from damage, both direct and during installation of the fire-stopping barrier. 1.3.1 Example i - For metal or PVC tubing up to 25 mm in diameter (see Figure 1.5) Metal o
42、r PVC tubing should be sealed by packing intumescent putty or caulking material between it and the cable(s). The inside space between the tubing and the wall/floor opening should also be caulked.
