RFS Technologies Dragon Skin System

DragonSkin is the first and only standalone, half‑inch coaxial cable certified under UL 2196 for 2‑hour fire survivability. It maintains circuit integrity—without needing metal conduit or wrapping—even during extreme heat and fire hose cooling, ensuring reliable in-building radio communications for emergency and public safety systems.

Key Features

• UL 2196 Circuit Integrity Certified for 2-Hour Burn
  Proven to function under extreme heat (up to 1000 °C / 1850 °F) and hose-down conditions without conduit or insulation wrapping.
• Slim, Flexible Design
  Half‑inch diameter with a compact 7″ bend radius, making it easy to install—especially in retrofits.
• Plenum-Certified Jacket
  CATVP air-handling certification allows safe installation in ceilings and return-air spaces.
• Low-Smoke Emission
  Emits minimal smoke during fire conditions, supporting safer egress and air quality.
• Robust Build
  Air-dielectric foam construction with corrugated copper conductor ensures strong RF performance across typical wireless bands.

Benefits

• Mission-Critical Communications Maintenance
  Supports uninterrupted cellular and public safety radio links across multiple floors during fires.
• No Conduit or Wrapping Required
  Reduces cable bulk, weight, and installation cost compared to traditional protected cables.
• Faster, Easier Installation
  Installs like standard coax with no extra components—ideal for new builds or retrofits.
• Lower Ownership Costs
  Lightest in-class cable reduces material and labor costs while preserving RF performance.
