Low smoke halogen-free cables (also known as LSHF cables, LSOH cables, LSZH cables) are widely used in places with high safety requirements because they produce less smoke and do not contain harmful halogen gases when burning. As a high-performance environmentally friendly cable, low smoke halogen-free cables are favored by customers. They are made of rubber materials that do not contain halogens, lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury and other environmental substances. When burning, they will not produce a large amount of harmful gases, but a small amount of white smoke, and will not cause secondary harm. So where can it be used? What are the advantages of low smoke halogen-free cables? TST CABLES will reveal the answer to you below.
