Unusual singles from Batt Cables

[strider6]

I was working with some odd singles today from Batt Cables, they seemed to have a plastic like braid between the insulation and the copper, almost as if it's some kind of fire rated cable, I don't believe it was LS either, it was a bit of a pita to get rid of the braid and my prysmian rolls weren't like this. Is this anything anyone else has seen before? I can't even find anything detailing it on their site.

I can post pics tomorrow since I have a few scraps but I don't feel like walking outside in the pouring rain to grab them.

Singles as in 6491B?

Pretty sure they were 6491X, B being the low smoke variant.

Certainly not something I've come across.

No wonder, I thought it was something like that, but I've never seen it in singles, only FP.
Cheers.

Looks like FP100 singles or the BATT equivalent in this case

Having seen the attempts by some fire alarm companies at installing steel conduit that's probably a good thing. I saw one company recently fitting conduit to boxes and couplers by grinding the outside of the tube thin and hammering it in instead of threading it...

It's as if they've never heard of conlok.
