APPLICATION

The LSZH sheathed cables are generally used for indoor installation and suitable for wet and damp areas. Generally, the cables are used within industrial process manufacturing plants for communication, data and voice transmission signals and services. Also used for the interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments, the LSZH sheath can reduce toxic smoke and fume emission.

STANDARDS

Basic design to BS EN 50288-7 (formerly BS 5308)

FIRE PERFORMANCE

Flame Retardance (Single vertical wire or cable test)IEC 60332-1-2; EN 60332-1-2
Reduced Fire Propagation (Vertically-mounted bundled wires & cables test)IEC 60332-3-24; EN 60332-3-24
Halogen FreeIEC 60754-1; EN 50267-2-1
No Corrosive Gas EmissionIEC 60754-2; EN 50267-2-2
Minimum Smoke EmissionIEC 61034-2; EN 61034-2

VOLTAGE RATING
