The new Cardiff City Stadium, home to both Cardiff City Football Club and the Cardiff Blues
rugby union team, is fitted out with FP Plus cable from Prysmian. The 27,000 all-seater facility
will be the second largest stadium in Wales after the Millennium Stadium and with over 20,000
metres of cable used to power the life safety systems, ease of installation was a real benefit for
contractors Tiger Fire & Security.
Russell said, “As an installer myself, I like using Prysmian cable as it dresses very well
and bends whilst still holding its shape, better than others in fact. Secondly, it strips very
easily and is simple and quick to terminate. Thirdly, the cable complies with all the relevant
standards, a necessity for a stadium fit-out where thousands of people could be at risk in an
emergency.”
Site based project manager, Russell Morgan of Tiger-Fire & Security, commented, “We used
FP Plus enhanced cable in the life safety electrical installation, white for the public address and
voice activation systems and red for the fire alarm system.”
FP Plus is fully compliant with all the requirements for enhanced cables approved for fire
detection and fire alarm critical signal paths to BS5839-1:2002 and voice alarm systems to
BS5839-8:2008 in enhanced application areas and emergency lighting systems to BS5266-1:2005.
