This product is an armored low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) sheathed cable, specifically designed for environments with high risks of mechanical damage. The galvanized steel wire armor layer provides excellent compression and impact resistance, ensuring long-term reliability of the cable in harsh industrial environments. It is widely used for communication, data, and voice signal transmission in industrial manufacturing processes, as well as for interconnecting electrical equipment and instrumentation. Its low-smoke zero-halogen sheath effectively reduces the emission of toxic smoke and corrosive gases under fire conditions, safeguarding personnel safety and equipment integrity.
