CLYNDER CABLES LEADS THE WAY ON LOW SMOKE ZERO HALOGEN PANEL WIRES... Versatile panel wires
2491B/6701B cable This cable is the industry’s LSZH panel of choice. 2491B/6701B (also known as H05Z-K & H07Z-K under the harmonised codes) are a BASEC approved panel wire and considered a suitable LSZH alternative to PVC panel wires. They are also sometimes referred to as LSOH cable or LSHF (Low Smoke Halogen Free) cable. Clynder Cables keeps a full range of stock of 2491B/6701B from 0.75mm² up to 10mm². These cables are available off the shelf in a wide range of colours for next-day delivery. Other sizes and non-standard colours can be manufactured to short lead times. The Clynder Cables brand has wide market recognition, and the company is an approved supplier to some of the most prestigious names in the UK and Irish Electrical Wholesale and Distribution industries. Enquire through your local wholesaler for Clynder 2491B/ 6701B.
LSZH vs LSF cables When it comes to fire safety, some installers enquire after LSF cables. These cables are manufactured using PVC compounds. When cables are labelled as ‘Low Smoke and Fume” or “LSF,” it means that the manufacturer has modified the compound with a number of additives in order to reduce smoke and HCI emissions. This, however, does not eliminate them. While Low Smoke Zero Halogen cables are subject to strict standards, LSF cables have no standards covering them. LSF cables have been found to emit HCI levels in excess of 20% when subject to fire. It is, therefore, important to always specify LSZH when asking for a Low Smoke Zero Halogen cable.
Panel wires are a mainstay and key component of any industrial control panel. They can be used in electrical cabinets, switch control, relay and instrumentation panels of power switchgear and are a frequently sought-after industrial component. With ever-increasing awareness of fire situations and how components react in them, recent trends show a move in the market towards Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) panel wires. In a fire situation, LSZH cables produce extremely low levels of smoke and toxic fumes with zero acidic gases. This is unlike PVC cables, which can produce large amounts of smoke and toxic fumes, when subjected to fire. This means increased visibility and reduced air toxicity, leading to faster evacuation of a building and reduced danger from smoke inhalation. Therefore, these cables are often specified for equipment installed in public buildings such as hospitals and schools as well as government and commercial buildings.
