LSZH - Halogen-free low-smoke cables
The Three Pillars of LSZH Safety
The combined use of halogen-free insulation and sheath provides three fundamental advantages during an emergency:
Zero Halogens (Zero Halogen – IEC 60754)
In the event of combustion, the cable emits minimal acid and/or toxic gases. The absence of hydrochloric acid prevents poisoning by inhalation and stops chemical corrosion on expensive electronic equipment and servers within the building.
Low Smoke Opacity (Low Smoke – IEC 61034)
Smoke emissions are extremely low and translucent. This is vital to ensure clear visibility along escape routes during evacuation and to allow rescue teams to intervene quickly.
Flame and Fire Non-Propagation (IEC 60332)
These compounds contain special mineral additives (such as aluminum or magnesium hydroxide) that release water molecules when exposed to heat. This process cools the cable, delays ignition and prevents fire propagation along cable trays.
LSZH Cable Types
LSZH technology is applied across multiple cable families to meet every installation requirement:
- LSZH Data and Instrumentation Cables (e.g. LiHH, LiHCH, JE-LiHCH, Li2YCH)
- Power and Control Cables for Infrastructure (e.g. FG16OM16, FG18OM16, FG16OH2M16, FG18OH2M16)
- PH120 Fire-Resistant Cables (e.g. FTG18OM16)
Mandatory Fields of Application
The installation of cables with LSZH insulation and sheath is governed by installation standards (such as CEI 64-8 in Italy) and is strongly required or mandatory in high-risk environments in the event of fire.
Public and Commercial Buildings
Hospitals, clinics, schools, universities, airports, railway stations and subways.
Entertainment and Retail Venues
Shopping centres, hotels, cinemas, theatres, stadiums and venues.
