Low Smoke Zero Halogen Flame Retardant Cables

Afumex Low Smoke Cable

Afumex is a range of low smoke, zero halogen, flame retardant cables that provide the power and control where it’s needed without making the fire worse.

High Performance Cable Systems

Today’s world of the modern, intelligent and complex building demands the highest performance from its electrical cable and systems. Systems that can enhance the experience for occupants and maximise lettable space for the client.

At the same time regulators and emergency service providers demand the building will perform in the event of fire. Engineers must design systems and use materials that can eliminate the hazard and reduce the risks caused by fire: such as using flame retardant, low smoke cable.

Zero Halogen Sheath

Low smoke cables have an LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath which, in the event of a fire, will emit very low levels of smoke and non-toxic levels of poisonous halogen gases. The majority of fatalities in confined areas occur through gas and smoke inhalation rather than directly from the fire itself. This is why low smoke zero halogen cable is recommended for use in highly populated enclosed public areas.

This is where Afumex low smoke cable performs.
