BEAT THE HEAT
Securing Emergency Communications
in High-Rise Buildings
When figh ng a fire in a high-rise building, the last thing
first responders need to worry about is being able to
communicate with each other. But new construc on, old
construc on and ght spaces – not to men on the fire
itself – can interfere with communica ons.
When modifying or installing reliable emergency
communica ons infrastructure in new buildings and
retrofi ng old buildings, how do you ensure that the
systems will hold up under the heat and stress of a fire?
The backbone of a reliable system is fire-resistant
coaxial cable built to survive the most extreme
circumstances. Such cable enables cellular and public
safety radio communica ons to and from all floors of
a burning building.
Radio Frequency Systems, a manufacturer of wireless and
broadcast infrastructure products, makes one such cable.

fire-resistant coaxial cable has been tested
and proven to work for two hours under temperatures up
to 1,850 degrees F.
DragonSkin is the first UL-listed, stand-alone
communica ons cable that meets NFPA-72, NFPA-1221
and NFPA-1225 survivability standards. Its smaller size
and weight don't require any conduit or cable wrapping,
and it can be bent to fit through ght spaces.
DragonSkin is the first and best performing standalone
cable designed to provide uninterrupted communica ons
and save lives of first responders in high-temperature and
on-fire environments.
