LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. These cables are designed to produce very low smoke and no halogen when exposed to fire, reducing the risk of toxic gas inhalation and improving visibility during a fire. The use of LSZH cables became mandatory in the London Underground after the 1987 King’s Cross fire, where dense smoke and toxic gases caused many casualties.
LSZH cables are especially important in public spaces and buildings where people gather, such as corporate offices, hospitals, shopping malls, hotels, cinemas, underground metros, power plants, and fire control centers. They help protect human life, critical equipment, and important documents during a fire. Additionally, fire alarm systems, ventilation, elevators, warning lights, and emergency doors remain functional for a longer time when LSZH cables are used for power and control systems.
Key features of this specific LSZH cable (1m) include:
