Shipwiring/Offshore Screened Instrumentation Cables to BS7917
(Ref. 658M SW4 Instrumentation)

Manufactured in both pairs and triples these 150/250V fire resistant instrumentation cables provide collective or individual screening through the use of metallic foils and drain wires. Offering good flexibility for installation in confined spaces or where difficult routing is necessary, the galvanised steel wire braid provides mechanical protection. Using Mica tapes and SW4 Low Smoke Halogen Free compounds, circuit integrity and low smoke emissions are achieved to maintain emergency circuits and smoke free exit routes.

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'!
