A cable system comprising: a cable , said cable having a sheath with an axial pathway running a length of said cable between a first end of said cable and a second end of said cable; said cable having one or a plurality of electrically conductive wires running through said axial pathway of said sheath for said length of said cable; said cable having a fluid conduit adjacent said electrically conductive wires within said sheath and running said length of said cable, said fluid conduit having a sidewall surrounding an axial passage thereof; and wherein said length of said cable is arranged to communicate electricity through said conductive wires between said first end and said second end of said cable and to concurrently communicate a fire suppressant within said fluid conduit, between said first end of said cable and said second end of said cable; said electrically conductive wires having an insulation coating circumferentially engaged thereon, said insulation having a first melting temperature; and said sidewall of said fluid conduit being formed of material having a second melting temperature, said second melting temperature exceeding said first melting temperature, whereby said sidewall of said fluid conduit only melts at a location along said length of said cable where a temperature of said conductive wires at said location, exceeds said second melting temperature. characterised by said fluid conduit and said sheath being flexible and by apertures running sequentially along said sheath from said first end of said cable to said second end of said cable; said apertures defining passages between said axial pathway of said sheath and areas surrounding an exterior of said sheath; wherein said fire suppressant emitted from said fluid conduit within said sheath is communicable to said areas surrounding said exterior of said sheath, through said passages. a cable , said cable having a sheath with an axial pathway running a length of said cable between a first end of said cable and a second end of said cable; said cable having one or a plurality of electrically conductive wires running through said axial pathway of said sheath for said length of said cable; said cable having a fluid conduit adjacent said electrically conductive wires within said sheath and running said length of said cable, said fluid conduit having a sidewall surrounding an axial passage thereof; and wherein said length of said cable is arranged to communicate electricity through said conductive wires between said first end and said second end of said cable and to concurrently communicate a fire suppressant within said fluid conduit, between said first end of said cable and said second end of said cable; said electrically conductive wires having an insulation coating circumferentially engaged thereon, said insulation having a first melting temperature; and said sidewall of said fluid conduit being formed of material having a second melting temperature, said second melting temperature exceeding said first melting temperature, whereby said sidewall of said fluid conduit only melts at a location along said length of said cable where a temperature of said conductive wires at said location, exceeds said second melting temperature. characterised by said fluid conduit and said sheath being flexible and by apertures running sequentially along said sheath from said first end of said cable to said second end of said cable; said apertures defining passages between said axial pathway of said sheath and areas surrounding an exterior of said sheath; wherein said fire suppressant emitted from said fluid conduit within said sheath is communicable to said areas surrounding said exterior of said sheath, through said passages. <EOS>
