Can someone say exactly what method is needed to run 6mm SWA through a fire rated partition wall? I understand you need a penetrater and both cable and penetrater sealed with something fireproof??
Please let me know whats best practice?

The fire rating of the wall, after the repair must be the same or exceded. There are several options to run it through but i would get i length of fire tube, fit it in the wall and seal around the ends with fire rated silicolne.
 
Whats the partition made of?, a lot of fire break partitions were AIB and you really dont want to be putting anything through that!
