Flame Retardant Instrumentation Cables

APPLICATION
The unarmoured LSZH versions (Part 1 Type 1&2) cables are generally use for indoor installation
and suitable for wet and damp areas. Generally 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 5308 Part1 Type1 & 2
