The VITALink® family of circuit integrity cables employs innovative technology that allows cables to survive and operate during a fire. At the heart of this technology is a unique silicone rubber insulation material that ceramifies and maintains physical & electrical integrity when exposed to flame conditions.

Recent product developments include:

  • Product variations designed with practicality in mind
  • Engineering flexibility & ease of installation
  • 2-Hour Fire ratings on (UL) Types MC meeting UL 2196 (industry first)

Critical functions for power, control, lighting and fire alarm circuits can now be counted on to provide "survivability" without compromise.

In 2014, RSCC gained approval for product with 1 HR and 2 HR listings for its MC (metal clad) cable product lines when MI cable is the only other market alternative with higher installation costs involved.

RSCC offers the Oil and Gas industry the total package for Wire and Cable applications with both standard and custom designs.

The VITALink® Petrochemical family of products have been designed as a flexible alternative to stainless steel MI cable. The design allows the cables to be rated for 30 minutes to 1 hour rapid rise profile at 2000°F for petrochemical hydrocarbon pool fires.

Applications include:

  • Shut-off valves
  • Paging systems
  • Fire pumps
  • Emergency and Fire Alarm systems
  • Field bus

Commercial -- Industrial

In addition to its major industry segments served, RSCC Wire & Cable has an ongoing leadership position producing custom cables requiring superior performance in harsh environments for mining, pulp and paper, airport grond control, and other industrial applications.
