Firetox Flame Retardant Cables 

Flame Retardant Instrumentation Cables

Flame Retardant Overall Screened Instrumentation Cables (multipair)

RE-2X(St)H

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.

STANDARDS
Basic design to BS 5308 Part1 Type1 & 2
