Why choose the Polycab Medical Wire

• Cross-linked HFFR insulation
• Flexible bunched copper conductor
• Made to IS 17048

How to choose and specify it

Why a medical wire. In a fire, a halogen-free wire gives off little smoke and no halogen acid gases - important in hospitals, where patients cannot always be moved quickly. Polycab also describes the insulation as fungus free (it does not support fungal growth), which helps where wiring runs in humid areas.

Standard. IS 17048 is the Indian standard for halogen-free flame-retardant cables up to 1100 V.

Sizes. Tell us the sizes and colours from your wiring schedule, and we confirm with Polycab.

Conduit. If the whole installation must be halogen-free, ask us to confirm the material and fire grade of the conduit too.
