Patent 10170218 was granted and assigned to ISCT on January, 2019 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A cable system is provided which is configured with both electric wires and a fluid conduit running through the axial passage of a surround sheath of the cable. The system allows for communication of electricity over the wires for electrical circuits and concurrent communication of a fire ignition suppressant fluid or gas through the fluid conduit, to all points in an electric circuit using the cable. Suppressant chambers may be located in junction boxes in such circuits to locally extinguish electrical fires.
