FM / CSA Coaxial cable

FM / CSA Coaxial cable

FM / CSA Coaxial cable

(OP)
Hi,
Our company provides equipment with armooured coaxial cables (RG62 A/U). We have a requirement to supply our equipment into a hazardous area, that is not ATEX but FM/CSA certified.

We can procure CSA certified armoured cable glands, but im not sure if its possible for procure FM/CSA cable?

Can someone help please?

RE: FM / CSA Coaxial cable

FM/CSA I think is two different association which may approve a product. FM =Factory Mutual see:

This is like as UL Approval for a certain product. So, "UL approved" it is the same as "FM approved".
Usually a cable could be produce following CSA and UL Standards so it will be equivalent.
See [for instance]:

If you intend to purchase this cable certified by CSA you may ask the manufacturer [Canadian] if a FM label could be tacked on the product. See[for instance]:
