Firetox Flame Retardant Cables
LSZH Flame Retardant Overall Screened, Armoured Instrumentation Cables (Multipair)
RE-2X(St)HSWAH
APPLICATION
The LSZH sheathed cables are generally used for indoor installation and suitable for wet and damp areas. The
galvanized steel wire armour provides excellent protection. Generally, the cables are 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 cores with metallic side down in contact
with tinned copper drain wire, 0.5mm². Copper braid screen or aluminium/polyester tape combination with
copper braid screen can be offered as option.
Inner Sheath : Thermoplastic LSZH compound.
Amouring : Galvanized steel wire armour.
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.
