BOSTRAIL® FIRE SAFE LSZH Cable
These are single-conductor 600 and 2000-volt power cables designed for low-smoke environments such as tunnels and subway systems. They consist of silicone rubber-insulated conductors jacketed with a tough, low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) crosslinked polyolefin (XLPO) jacket. They are highly heat, oil and moisture-resistant, extremely tough yet Flexible, and can sustain 125°C operating temperatures.
Construction
Conductor: The conductor is class “K” stranded in accordance with ASTM B172. The wires are soft, annealed copper with a continuous tin coating (98.0% conductivity) in accordance with ASTM B33. The conductor resistance meets the requirements of ICEA S-95-658 (NEMA WC70).
Insulation: Low-smoke silicone rubber to comply with applicable specifications. The insulation fits the conductor tightly but is “clean stripping.” Opaque polyester tape or another suitable separator is applied over the conductor.
Jacket: Flame-retardant, low smoke, non-halogen and oil-resistant crosslinked polyolefin (XLPO) jacket (see chart on back). The jacket is bonded to the EPR insulation.
