Frequently Asked Questions
This Fire Resistant Cable Shielded LSZH is designed for fire alarm systems, signaling devices, and electronic equipment in indoor and residential installations where reliable signal transmission and fire safety are both required.
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. In a fire, the jacket emits minimal smoke and no halogen gases, reducing toxicity and visibility loss so occupants can evacuate safely and equipment is protected from corrosive fumes.
Yes. It uses a 100%-coverage polyester tape and aluminum foil shield with a drain wire, which protects the signal from electromagnetic interference — important when the cable is routed near power wiring or other EMI sources.
It refers to a 2-conductor (twisted pair) cable with a nominal 1.0mm² (18AWG) stranded bare copper conductor size per core, suited to shorter fire alarm and signaling circuit runs.
It is rated for operation from -20°C to 90°C and a maximum voltage of 300V, suitable for typical indoor fire alarm and signaling circuits.
