LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen and refers to a type of cable jacket material that minimizes smoke and toxic fumes in the event of a fire. These cables are designed to reduce hazards by limiting smoke and preventing the release of corrosive acid gases. LSZH cables are commonly used in public areas like train stations, hospitals, and schools, where smoke and toxic fumes could be harmful.
Low Smoke:
LSZH cables produce a significantly lower amount of smoke compared to traditional cables like those made with PVC. This reduced smoke improves visibility and helps with evacuation and firefighting efforts.
Zero Halogen:
LSZH cables are free of halogens, which are a class of elements that can release toxic gases during combustion. This prevents the formation of corrosive acid gases like hydrochloric acid (HCl), which can damage equipment and pose a health risk.
Applications: LSZH cables are commonly used in:
- Public buildings like train stations, hospitals, and schools.
- Poorly ventilated areas like aircraft and ships.
- High-risk environments where safety is paramount.
- Tunnels and underground rail networks.
- Data centers and other sensitive equipment installations.
