Cable Fire Rating

Anyone familiar with Drake RHW 2 hour fire rate cable?

I'm told it's no longer approved vertically for 2 hour rating only horizontally. True? Thanks.

Most listed cables lost their listing for this use 3 years ago or so. MI cable never did. Some folks have got limited product in the pipeline now (Windy City). Contact DRAKA directly for the lowdown on their offerings (1-800-333-4248).

Thanks. We are trying to VE MI. The only other install I can think of that would satisfy the 2 hour rating is Vitalink 2 hour feeder MC cable. Or you can concrete encase the EMT. I don't think you can use RGS anymore with RHW2 hour rated.
