Fire Alarm and Fire Rated Cables in Australia
The right cable matters in every fire protection installation. Different circuits have different requirements for conductor size, voltage rating, identification and performance during a fire. Choosing a cable starts with understanding what the circuit must do and what the approved system design specifies.
Fire Factory Australia is a manufacturer and supplier of cables for the Australian market. We offer fire alarm cables, 2-hour fire rated cables and general electrical cables to customers across Australia. Our range gives installers and fire protection businesses clear options for different applications, backed by product specifications that help them select the right cable for each job.

TPS fire alarm cables
Our TPS fire alarm cable range includes flat red cable, flat red cable with a white identification stripe, and twisted red cable. The product sheets list applications in fire alarm, security, intercom and power-limited circuits, subject to the system design.
The flat red and white-stripe options are available in 0.75 mm², 1.0 mm² and 1.5 mm² conductor sizes. The twisted option is listed as a 1.5 mm² two-core cable. These options help installers match the cable configuration and identification to the requirements of the project.
2-hour fire rated cables
Some circuits must continue to operate during a fire. Where the approved design calls for fire resistant cable, Fire Factory Australia offers 2-hour fire rated fire alarm cables for suitable fire alarm and Emergency Warning and Intercommunication System (EWIS) applications.
The supplied product sheets describe stranded copper conductors, double-layer mica tape flame barriers, and low-smoke zero-halogen insulation and jacket materials. The range includes two-core sizes from 0.75 mm² to 6.0 mm², along with selected three-core and four-core-plus-earth configurations.
A fire rated cable should always be selected against the circuit’s specified fire and mechanical performance requirements. The cable’s rating alone does not establish the performance of the complete installed circuit; supports, fixings and installation details also matter.
Twin and earth TPS cable
Our white twin and earth TPS cable is listed for suitable general wiring and lighting applications. It has red and black insulated cores, a green/yellow earth core and a white outer sheath. The supplied product sheet lists 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm² options with a 450/750 V voltage rating.
Orange circular cable
Our orange circular cable is listed for suitable power mains, submains and subcircuits in residential, commercial and industrial settings. The supplied specifications show 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm² options, X-90 insulation, a 5V-90 outer sheath and a 0.6/1 kV voltage rating.
The orange colour helps identify the product visually, but colour alone does not establish a fire resistance rating. Check the cable specification and the installation design before selecting it for a circuit.

How to choose the right cable
Before ordering, check:
- The circuit’s purpose: Does it carry detection signals, emergency warnings or electrical power?
- Fire performance: Does the approved design require the circuit to continue operating during a fire?
- Cable configuration: How many cores are required, and what conductor size does the design specify?
- Electrical requirements: Confirm the voltage rating, load and voltage drop requirements.
- Installation conditions: Check the proposed route, supports, mechanical protection and environment.
- Project documentation: Match the selected cable and installation method to the approved drawings, equipment instructions and applicable requirements.
Red TPS fire alarm cable and 2-hour fire rated cable serve different needs. A red sheath is an identification feature; it does not, by itself, give a cable a 2-hour fire resistance rating.
Frequently asked questions
Is all red fire alarm cable fire rated?
No. Red TPS cable and 2-hour fire rated cable have different constructions and intended uses. Check the product data sheet and the approved circuit specification before ordering.
What is the difference between TPS and 2-hour fire rated cable?
TPS fire alarm cable is an option for circuits where its specified properties meet the design requirements. The supplied 2-hour fire rated range includes a mica tape flame barrier and is intended for applications that call for the stated fire performance. The complete installation must also meet the project requirements.
Does Fire Factory Australia supply cables outside NSW?
Yes. Fire Factory Australia sells cables to customers across Australia. Contact the team to confirm current stock, pricing and delivery for your location.
