The code name of the low SMoke and halogen-free flame retardant network cable is LSZH, which is "Low Smoke Zero". Halogen " (Low Smoke Halogen Free) acronym, used to represent non-halogenated flame retardant cable sheath materials. The following is a detailed explanation of the low smoke halogen free flame retardant network cable code and its related characteristics:
First, the meaning of the code name
L: It stands for Low, that is, low.
S: It stands for Smoke, that is, smoke.
Z: stands for Zero, which is zero.
H: It stands for Halogen, that is, halogen.
Therefore, LSZH as a whole represents the low-smoke, halogen-free (i.e. zero halogen) characteristics of this network cable.
II. Relevant characteristics
Low smoke: Less smoke is produced when burned, which helps reduce sight obstruction and respiratory irritation in a fire.
Halogen-free: does not contain halogen components, and does not produce toxic hydrogen halide gas when burned, thus reducing the harm to personnel and equipment.
Flame retardancy: Although low-smoke halogen-free materials themselves do not directly have flame retardancy, their flame retardancy can be improved by adding flame retardants (such as iron hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, etc.). Flame retardant grades may be classified according to different standards (such as UL standards or European Union standards), such as CMX grade, CM/CMG grade, CMR grade, and CMP grade.
III. Scope of application
Due to its excellent fire safety characteristics, low-smoke halogen-free flame retardant network cables are suitable for places with high fire performance requirements, such as centralized office areas, public transportation railway systems, nuclear power plants, oil refineries, etc. In the event of a fire in these places, low-smoke halogen-free network cables can reduce the generation of smoke and toxic gases, thereby protecting the safety of personnel and equipment.
In summary, the code name of the low-smoke halogen-free flame retardant network cable is LSZH, which represents the excellent characteristics of this network cable with low smoke and halogen-free, and its flame retardant performance is improved by adding flame retardants. When selecting and using, the appropriate flame retardant grade and specification model should be selected according to the specific application environment and needs.
