What type of cable should be used as part a fire code for building?

For fire safety in buildings, cables should comply with specific fire-resistance standards, such as those outlined in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes or local building codes. Generally, low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) cables, or cables rated for fire-resistance such as Type MC (Metal Clad) or Type NM (Non-Metallic) with appropriate fire ratings, are recommended. Additionally, cables should be installed according to codes that require them to be protected from fire and smoke spread. Always consult local regulations for specific requirements.
