Halogen low Smoke Cable

Low smoke zero halogen or low smoke free of halogen (LSZH or LSOH or LSOH or LSFH or OHLS) is a material classification typically used for cable jacketing in the wire and cable industry.

LSZH cable jacketing is composed of thermoplastic or thermoset compounds that emit limited smoke and no halogen when exposed to high sources of heat.

Applications

Overview
Halogen low smoke cables are widely used in applications where fire safety is crucial. They are commonly employed in building wiring, particularly in public spaces like schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings, where minimizing smoke and toxic gases during a fire is essential. These cables are also used in public transportation systems, such as trains and airports, to ensure passenger safety in case of a fire. In data centers, they help protect sensitive equipment by reducing the risk of fire-related damage, while in marine applications, they meet safety regulations for ships and offshore platforms. Additionally, halogen low smoke cables are critical in control and alarm systems, ensuring that fire alarms, emergency lighting, and security systems remain operational without the risk of toxic smoke in the event of a fire.
