Neat, resists everything, requires fewer fixings to keep it straight and they are inherently fire resistant. A bit slower when working it with limited access.

And metal fixings aren't a problem.MICC is a superb outdoor cable.
I remember a fire wrecked labour club about 40 years ago, it had been wired in pyro, as per regulations in some council areas. The pyro copper sheaths were all sorts of colours....but it was still mostly intact. We removed some from the wreckage and tested it just for the sake. Plenty turned out clear and continuous. Amazing stuff.Neat, resists everything, requires fewer fixings to keep it straight and they are inherently fire resistant. A bit slower when working it with limited access.

What B.S number does this cable have?
Black FP200
I normally used white FP 200 which the manufacturers said supports UV light exposure however I have seen a few installs where after 6 years turns to dust.

Same here gave it some abuse still ok.I remember the first time I saw pyro whilst an apprentice in the training center.
Our instructor ran a blow torch over it, bashed it flat with a hammer and then tested it's IR an continuity, passed both tests. It can take some abuse!
That is because it isn't, it goes hard and brittle when exposed to the sun for a few years, it then cracks open if moved.they don't say it is UV stable.
