Flame Retardant Instrumentation Cables

APPLICATION
The armoured LSZH versions (Part 1 Type 2) cables are generally used when the risk of mechanical
damage is increased. The galvanized steel wire armour provides excellent protection. 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 Type 2
