Low Smoke, Halogen Free (LSHF) Cable

Low Smoke, Halogen Free (LSHF) Cable

Low Smoke, Halogen Free (LSHF) Cable

Description

Installed in highly congested and critical areas to prevent smoke suffocation in cases of fire

Application

  • High-rise buildings
  • Hospitals, call center buildings, and other heavily populated institutions or establishments.
  • Historic buildings
  • Tunnels and subways
  • Airports, stadiums, cinemas, casinos, hotels, banks, etc.
  • Industrial plants
  • Other areas where cables are exposed

Specification

  • Low and colorless smoke emission in case of fire
  • No acid and corrosive burning gases emission
  • Low toxicity of burning gases emission

Features

  • LSHF wire and cable produces less smoke when burned, which permits people to exit a fire burning building more quickly and results in less soot damage to electronic equipment located near the fire.
  • Because LSHF release little or no halogen gas when burned, it reduces the damage to the human respiratory system if inhaled.
  • LSHF jackets have lower coefficient of friction than some non-LSHF jackets, which can make installation easier.
