Perfect insulation
Cable insulation systems from OBO

We have extended our range of cable insulation products in order to be able to provide the ideal solution for any building. The insulation systems you may already be familiar with are now complemented by a wide variety of solutions which you can use to create the ideal cable insulation for almost any installation situation.

OBO FBA cable insulations
OBO’s new FBA cable insulations are a development of the proven OBO FBA insulations. Enhanced materials have been used to significantly optimise the possible applications of the individual systems. Custom solutions have been developed in particular for use in thin partitions, to enable installation in almost all types of wall and ceiling.

OBO FBA-B are square foam blocks which provide a very simple means of building medium-scale cable insulations. When the blocks are installed in a longitudinal direction, they meet the requirements of fire-resistance class S 90, and class S 30 when installed in a transverse direction.

OBO FBA-S are round foam plugs in various sizes. They are the ideal solution for cable insulation in tapping holes in solid walls and ceilings. The plugs may also be used to seal unused holes.

OBO FBA-D is a special solution for small circular cable insulations which can be installed quickly and easily in thin partitions, solid walls and solid ceilings. OBO FBA-D core drill insulators comprise a rigid pipe shell with an external diameter of 78 mm and two matching FBA-DS plugs. The pipe shell is made from the same material as the plugs, but is rigid.

OBO FBA-SR is the ideal solution for circular cable insulations in thin partitions. It is also suitable for use in solid walls and ceilings. OBO’s FBA-SR circular assembly insulator comprises a split, rigid pipe shell (external diameter 140 mm) and two FBA-S107 plugs. The material used for the pipe shells is a rigid version of the same material used for the plugs.

OBO FBA-F is a special system which makes light work of cable insulations, specifically in thin partitions. It is also suitable for use in solid walls and ceilings. The square assembly insulator comprises a split, solid frame measuring 20 x 10 x 20 cm and two matching FBA-FI inside pieces. The frame components are made from the same material as the inside pieces, although the former are much more rigid.

OBO FPS ready-assembled panel insulators

The FPS ready-assembled panel insulator is the next logical step in OBO's range of cable insulation solutions. At the heart of the insulation system is a ready-coated mineral fibre panel. Once the panel has been installed, an additional final coating does not have to be applied. In addition to the insulation of cables and lines, all manner of pipelines made from combustible and non-combustible materials may be routed through the insulation.

OBO FPS comprises coated mineral panels and a layer of fire protection compound on the cables routed through it. In the event of a fire, the coating will foam up, creating an insulating carbon foam. Together with the mineral fibre panels, this foam will provide effective protection against the propagation of flames and smoke. In accordance with the building supervisory authority licence, in addition to electrical cables and lines pipelines made from metal and plastic may also be routed through the insulation at the same time. These types of insulation are known as “combined insulation”.
