F&S Cables - LF-318 Flexible Multi-core LSHF Cables

LF-318 Flexible Multi-core

Low Smoke Halogen Free compounds are used to produce this high quality flexible cable that meets the requirements of 318*B and H05ZZ-F. Ideal for applications where the cable will be seen. Examples include: lighting pendant drops, supply leads and general wiring in public areas.

As an option these cables can be over sheathed in a wide variety of colours in Low Smoke Halogen Free compounds. This is particularly useful when quantities are small or cables are needed quickly.

For number coded versions and cables with more cores or larger conductor sizes please refer to LF-319 Flexible Number coded Multi-core.

Cable Construction

Fine copper wire strands to BS6360 class 5, Low Smoke Halogen Free insulation, colour coded to BS7671 & HD308 S2. White or black Low Smoke Halogen Free outer sheath.

There are two colour code options available for four core cables,
they can be selected by suffixing the part codes as required -
1) Green/yellow, Blue, Brown, Black - No suffix required
2) Green/yellow, Brown Black, Grey- Suffix the part code "E"
Both options comply with HD308 S2
For black sheath suffix the part number "B"

At FSC we refer to LSHF as Low Smoke Halogen Free

This term is interchangeable with LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), OHLS (Zero Halogen Low Smoke) and FRNC (Flame Retardant Non-Corrosive). Beware of the terms LSF (Low Smoke and Fume) or RP (Reduced Propogation), when relating to signal or control cables will normally be modified PVC and produce 'Loads of Smoke and Fume'!

Fire retardant, fire resistant, flame resistant or flame retardant?

These terms are often misunderstood. Most cables when exposed to fire will not carry on functioning. If you require cable to continue working in the event of fire, and in accordance with various standards please call us.
