LSHF

Apart from being the main physical protection for the cable, the outer Jacket also provides a smooth and safe touch for its users. To bring the best user experience and satisfaction, some outer jackets are designed to excel in a specific function. It is because of this reason that PROCAB, developed cables that can aid in the instalment or that have better winding and unwinding properties. For safety regulations the outer jacket can also consist of materials that emit very low levels of smoke or will self-extinguish when exposed to flames. 

LSHF stands for Low Smoke, Halogen Free. This term refers to Halogen free flame retardant thermoplastic material used as a sheathing compound in cables. In the event of a fire or when exposed to high levels of heat, the chemicals in the jacket removes heat from the flame, whilst the reaction produces water as a by-product to help quench the flame.  As a result, the cable will emit very low levels of smoke, and non-toxic levels of poisonous halogen gasses.
