Для тех, кто не знает, что он делает, он делает 2-часовое огнестойкое соединение. Кабель с минеральной изоляцией представляет собой сплошной медный сердечник, который пропускает ток через огнестойкий белый минеральный порошок, который затем заключен в медную оболочку, действующую как заземление. Он предназначен для использования в зданиях с большой вместимостью. Кабели предназначены для питания аварийных систем, которые при любых обстоятельствах должны продолжать работать в условиях пожара. Кабель MI даст вам минимальную 2-часовую огнестойкость и позволит таким вещам, как пожарные насосы, пожарная сигнализация и различные другие необходимые системы пожаротушения, продолжать работать, даже если кабель непосредственно подвергается воздействию огня. В частности, причина такого сложного процесса сращивания или соединения заключается в том, что повреждение или разрезание медной оболочки разрушает или нарушает класс огнестойкости линии. Чтобы сохранить этот класс огнестойкости, должны быть выполнены специальные соединения, одобренные сводом правил пожарной охраны (IFC). (Редактировать) повторное рассмотрение типа кабеля показывает, что конкретный кабель MI, который он использует, имеет два сплошных проводника. Кабель Mi может быть заказан с 3 сплошными проводниками с определенными ограничениями по размеру.

It's called Mineral Insulated Pyrotenax, it is used for fire alarm systems so that in the case of a fire the cable doesn't get damaged from the heat or burning therefore the alarm works properly as well as sprinklers. It's mostly used in industrial/commercial areas such as: Airports, Petrochemical plants, healthcare facilities etc.
