Firetox Flame Retardant Cables
LSZH Flame Retardant Armored RS 485 Databus Cables
APPLICATION
LSZH Flame Retardant Armored RS 485 Databus Cables are designed for RS485 data connections. It
combines low capacitance insulation and screening to provide high speed, interference free and data
transmission. The galvanized steel wire braid armor provides excellent protection. The LSZH sheath can reduce
toxic smoke and fume emission.

CABLE CONSTRUCTION
Conductors: Stranded Annealed Tinned Copper.
Insulation: Foam PE or foam skin PE.
Cabling Elements: Insulated cores are twisted to form pairs with varying lay length to minimize crosstalk.
Two pair cable had four cores laid in quad formation.
Cabling: Pairs are cabled together in concentric layers.
Overall Screen: Aluminum/polyester tape with tinned copper drain wire.
Braiding: Tinned copper wire braid.
Inner Sheath: LSZH compound. Black color.
Armor: Galvanized steel wire braid with 85% coverage.
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.
