Results for tag: "Low Smoke Halogen Free Cable"

In the wire and cable industry, low smoke halogen-free (LSHF) cables represent a specialized category designed to minimize the release of toxic gases and smoke when exposed to fire. These cables are composed of thermoplastic or thermoset compounds that emit limited smoke and no halogen when subjected to high heat or flame. LSHF cables are particularly valued in applications where fire safety is a concern, such as in densely populated or confined environments including commercial buildings, airports, and submarines, as well as in high-value sectors like data centers and telecommunications, which demand high standards of fire performance and human safety. These cables not only enhance safety by reducing the risk of fire propagation and providing better visibility in case of fire, but also help in reducing environmental impact due to the absence of halogenated materials. Some well-known manufacturers in the LSHF cable market include Prysmian Group, Nexans, Draka (part of the Prysmian Group), Sumitomo Electric, and Hitachi. Other notable players consist of Belden, Lapp Group, and Encore Wire Corporation. These companies offer a range of LSHF cables that cater to various industrial needs, ensuring compliance with stringent safety standards and regional regulations. Show Less Read more
