Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / cabling
French term or phrase: coup feu
Is this referring to fire prevention or something totally different? This is part of tender specifications regarding the installation of phone and internet cables.

Pose des câbles en cas de coup feu:
- Des transitions coup feu doivent être appliquées conforme à la directive européenne 1366-3 et la directive allemande DIN 4102-9 et 4102-12. Afin d’être conforme à ces normes, il faut utiliser un système qui permet d’introduire des câbles additionnels dans le système coup feu d’une manière facile et efficace.

I can give more context if necessary, but this is the only place this term shows up.

e.g. Do not install the DVR by an exterior wall, since exterior walls have fire-breaks inside them and it is difficult to route cabling through a fire-break.
