1.0mm fire alarm cable is a fire-resistant cable with a 1.0 mm² cross-sectional area, commonly used in fire alarm systems. It is designed to maintain circuit integrity for a specified period during a fire, allowing the alarm system to function and transmit signals. These cables are typically constructed with a plain annealed copper conductor, insulation, a separator, a drain wire, shielding (often aluminum PET), and a jacket.

- Conductor: Usually made of plain annealed copper wire, with options for different classes (e.g., Class 1, 2, or 5) according to EN60228.
- Insulation: Provides electrical insulation between the conductor and other components.
- Separator: Often a PET foil, acting as a barrier.
- Drain Wire: A solid tinned copper wire, often 0.80mm, to help with grounding and shielding.
- Shield: Typically includes an Aluminum PET layer with 100% coverage and 20% overlapping for electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection.
- Jacket: The outer layer, providing protection and often made of fire-retardant materials.
