LSZH

Low Smoke Zero Halogen insulation (sheath), Also known as LSOH, LSHF, Low smoke.

Normal PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) sheaths emit dense smoke and corrosive gases when burning (max safe working temp 70°C).
LSOH emits considerably less smoke and fumes and has a safe working temp of 90°C.

LSOH cables will be used in areas of public access, such as schools, supermarkets, hospitals, etc, along fire escape routes, and where equipment is likely to suffer damage due to corrosive fumes.
Many times will be confused with LSF.

Ensure that the customer understands the difference between LSF and LSOH
