Flame Retardant Instrumentation Cables

APPLICATION

The unarmoured LSZH versions (Part 1 Type 1) 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.
