Smart Cabling for a Secure Environment

When it comes to cabling materials, there are several options available, each with its own unique characteristics and benefits. Understanding the differences between them is vital in ensuring optimal performance and safety in your cabling infrastructure. Among the most common types are: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), and LSF (Low Smoke and Fume).

Water Immersion Test

Water resistance test is made to tell if a cable material is suitable for submersion in water. It can also be referred to as a test to determine mechanical properties of a cable sheath after water immersion. Performed toward the European standard EN 60811-50.

Smoke Density

The smoke density measurement taken from a material under fire conditions gives an indication of the visibility through the smoke, this is important as reduced visibility in a real fire situation makes it more difficult to escape from a fire hence increasing the threat to human life from the toxic gases, flames and heat.

Vertical Flame Spread of Vertically Bunched Wires or Cables

The various parts of IEC / BS EN 60332 specify methods of test for flame spread along cabling. It is particularly important to assess the flame spread properties of cabling since cables crossfire resistant walls, linking occupied spaces to service areas, ceiling voids, etc. Fire spread has been linked to cables in a number of major fires.
