BS 5308 Low Smoke Zero Halogen Cable Silicone Class 1 Solid Copper Conductor

Product Specification

BS 5308 Low Smoke Zero Halogen Cable Silicone Class 1 Solid Copper Conductor

APPLICATION

BS 5308 cables are designed to carry communication and control signals in a variety of installation types including those found in the petrochemical industry. The signals can be of analogue, data or voice types and from a variety of transducers such as pressure, proximity or microphone. Part 1 Type 2 cables are designed where a greater degree of mechanical protection is required or where there is direct burial at a suitable depth. Collectively and individually screened pairs are available within the range.

LSZH cable selection

There have been many developments in relation to LSZH cable standards and legislation since the Kings Cross Station fire of November 1987 which resulted in 31 fatalities. Findings from the official investigation outlined that the majority of these deaths were as a result of toxic fumes, pointing to the vast quantities of PVC present in the building, much of which was in PVC cables. PVC cables were subsequently banned by London Underground.

As a leading rail & metro cable supplier, Eland Cables is well-positioned to understand the implications involved when selecting an LSZH cable for use in any other industry. Please contact our technical team to discuss your specific requirements and our comprehensive range of LSZH cables for all applications, including building & construction, oil & gas, and marine & offshore.
