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.

Cable Construction
Conductor:Plain or metal coated copper wire, solid, stranded or flexible according to IEC 60228 class 1, 2 and 5.
Insulation: Extruded XLPE compound according to EN 50290-2-29. LSZH, PE, PP compound can be offered as options.
Pairs: Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm (≤1.5mm2) or 150mm (for 2.5mm2).
Binder tape: PETP transparent tape.
Overall Screen: Aluminium/polyester tape is applied over the laid up pairs with metallic side down in contact with tinned copper
drain wire, 0.5mm². Copper braid screen or aluminium/polyester tape combined with copper braid screen can be offered as option.
Outer Sheath: Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1 (Thermosetting LSZH
compound type SW2-SW4 as per BS 7655-2.6 can be offered.)
Outer Sheath Option: UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti-rodent and anti-termite properties can be offered as option.
Colour Code
Insulation Colour: Colours and/or additional ring markings and/or symbols achieved by the use of coloured insulation or by a coloured surface using extrusion, printing or painting.
Outer sheath: Black . Other colours can be offered upon request.
