Halogen free cable

Halogen free cable are increasingly necessary especially in highly populated areas and industrial sites to protect against the risk of toxic gas emissions during fire. This type of cable has high performance, clean and it is a safer alternative to regular cables. Most standard RG cables contain halogen insulation. It is used because it helps to prevent the cables from fire.

 Halogen free cable does not contain Halogen-family elements such as Fluorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. These element normally create toxic and corrosive fumes when burned. Therefore, it is suitable for public sector housing and major new development areas. Government in most country introduce stricter halogen regulations as the smoke created by burning the halogenated product is so dangerous to human health. Due to this, more and more manufacturers are making the effort to switch to halogen free options.

 Halogen free cable does function with the same standard and circular connectors with RG cables. It also offer a greater flexibility over standard RG cable. It is perfectly suitable in situation where performance, safety and reliability is highest in priority.Halogen-free cable also offers the added benefit of being more environmentally-friendly than their halogenated counterparts. Non-halogenated cables produce drastically lower levels of carbon monoxide – sometimes as much as 360% lower carbon output – and they produce less smoke overall.
