Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen Communication and Control Cable Get control with uncompromising safety C hoosing the right cable may be one of the most important safety decisions you can make. Common wire and cable insulating materials can emit toxic gases, toxic smoke, and toxic acids when they burn. Cables that produce heavy amounts of smoke are also dangerous. More people in fires die from smoke inhalation than any other cause. Reducing smoke in general and toxic smoke in particular saves lives. Alpha Wire offers a complete range of high-performance cable that lowers the amount of smoke and eliminates halogens emitted, without compromising on electrical and mechanical performance. Low smoke, zero halogens saves lives A halogen-containing plastic can release hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, and other dangerous gases when burned. Alpha Wire’s low-smoke, zerohalogen (LSZH) communication and control cable combines LSZH-rated insulation and jackets with the rugged performance you expect from Alpha. The specially formulated LSZH material minimizes the effects from smoke and harmful corrosive gases in the event of combustion. Low smoke means easier visibility in exiting the area and reduced danger of smoke inhalation, while low toxicity means no harm to people from halogenated gases. When hydrogen chloride comes in contact with water, it forms dangerous hydrochloric acid. These gases are also highly corrosive to metal. Our LSZH cables are suited to such applications as rapid transit, industrial, commercial, and similar confined-space applications where the low-smoke cables While halogens used in common cabling materials, such as chlorine in PVC or fluorine in PTFE, are stable under most conditions, they present serious health hazards when burned. can save lives and potentially reduce damage to electronic components. • L SZH materials for lowsmoke properties and reduced toxicity • Tinned copper conductors resist corrosion • Stranded conductors for installation flexibility • Multiconductor and multipair configurations • Unshielded versions for smallest diameter • Foil shielded, overall or individual pairs, for EMI protection and improved signal integrity • Color-coded conductor insulation for easy identification Unshielded Cable (LSZH jacket/LSZH insulation) Conductor Size AWG No. of Conductors mm2 22 0.35 20 0.56 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 2 3 4 5 6 Cable Diameter Inch 0.15 0.16 0.17 0.19 0.20 0.20 0.22 0.23 0.25 0.19 0.20 0.22 0.24 0.26 mm 3.8 4.1 4.3 4.8 5.1 5.1 5.6 5.8 6.3 4.8 5.1 5.6 6.1 6.1 Jacket Wall Thickness Inch 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 mm 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 Part No. 1172L 1173L 1174L 1175L 1176L 1177L 1178L 1179L 1180L 1895L 1896L 1896/4L 1896/5L 1896/6L Shielded Cable: Foil Shielding Overall (LSZH Jacket/LSZH Insulation) Conductor Size AWG 24 No. of Pairs mm 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 0.22 Cable Diameter Inch 0.14 0.20 0.21 0.23 0.25 0.27 0.27 0.29 0.32 0.34 mm 3.6 5.1 5.3 5.8 6.3 6.9 6.9 7.4 8.1 8.6 Jacket Wall Thickness Inch 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 mm 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 Part No. 5471L 5472L 5473L 5474L 5475L 5476L 5477L 5478L 5479L 5480L Shielded Cable: Individually Foil-Shielded Pairs (LSZH Jacket/Polypropylene Insulation) Conductor Size AWG 22 No. of Pairs mm2 0.35 2 3 4 6 9 12 Cable Diameter Inch 0.24 0.25 0.29 0.33 0.39 0.44 Specifications Conductors Stranded tinned copper Materials LSZH (low smoke/zero halogen) Standard Jacket ColorSlate ShieldingAluminum/polyester Temperature -20°C to +75°C Voltage 300 V Approvals UL Type CMG CSA Type CMG FT4 LSZH Flammability Passes IEC 60332-1 LSZH Acid Gas Generation Passes IEC 60754-1 and 60754-2 LSZH Smoke Emission Passes IEC 61034-2 mm 6.1 6.3 7.4 8.4 9.9 11.2 Jacket Wall Thickness Inch 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 0.025 mm 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 0.635 Part No. 2466L 6010L 2463L 6012L 6014L 6017L The cables you trust.
