Fire stop when using MC cable

[czars]

I have a client that needs a new cable run through a fire stop wall. The plan is to use MC cable for the cable run, but I don't how to penetrate the fire stop wall with the MC. Does anyone know the proper way to accomplish this??

How many cables? I just completed a job where I had 19 mc cables to go through a fire wall. I core drilled the block and used 5, 2in sch. 40 steel pipes. I put 4 in 4 pipes and the remaining 3 in the last one. After I strapped them so there was no movement I fire sealed from both sides. Inspector happy.

My client needs one 10/3 MC cable through the wall.

Now just a reminder that the info Mike posted is only good if you use Hilti firestop. If you use another product you have to look at their application guide.
