CW1600 Limited Fire Hazard

This cable is similar in design and application to CW1308 but with Low Smoke Halogen Free cores and sheath.

Used for the internal wiring of buildings when the need to protect people and equipment from smoke and fumes is paramount, CW1600 has the added advantage of a aluminium/polyeseter foil screen and drain wire.

    

 

A fire barrier tape is included on cable with more than 6 pairs. A rip cord is included to make stripping the outer sheath easier.

Construction

Solid copper conductor, colour coded, Low Smoke Halogen Free insulation. Twisted into pairs, screened with aluminium/polyester tape in contact with solid copper drain wire, fire barrier tape on cables with more than 6 pairs, Low Smoke Halogen Free sheath.

At FSC we refer to LSHF as Low Smoke Halogen Free

This term is interchangeable with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), OHLS (Zero Halogen Low Smoke) and FRNC (Flame Retardant Non-Corrosive). Beware of the terms LSF (Low Smoke and Fume) or RP (Reduced Propogation), when relating to signal or control cables will normally be modified PVC and produce 'Loads of Smoke and Fume'!

Fire retardant, fire resistant, flame resistant or flame retardant?

These terms are often misunderstood. Most cables when exposed to fire will not carry on functioning. If you require cable to continue working in the event of fire, and in accordance with various standards please call us.
