What is Intrinsically Safe?
Intrinsically Safe means that the system is incapable of causing an explosion or being a source of ignition in the presence of potentially explosive or combustible materials and gases.
In other words, the equipment and wiring are incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy under normal or abnormal conditions to cause the ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture in its most easily ignited concentration. OSHA has many reports of fires caused by non-intrinsically safe systems. Preventing fire and explosions is a top priority for all industries around the world!
What sets the our Communication System apart from other hardline systems on the market?
Our 10,000 lb. tensile strength NFPA-rated Combined Safety/Communication Rope™ contains built-in wiring, simplifying line management and thus, reducing the chance of User entanglement while working.
It has been tested to provide communication up to the point of rope failure at over 10,000 lb. load. This rope is ideal for Search and Rescue (SAR) personnel or Fire Fighters. LEADER COM Combined Safety/Communication Rope™ or Extension Cords provide clear, reliable communication for up to 4.8 km (3 miles) per Headset. Connectors and ropes can also be submerged in water up to 10m (35’).
DuraCORE™ Cable with a SEDFLEX™ jacket which makes the cables more rugged than average communication cables in the market.
