Product description
H05Z-K cable is a low smoke, halogen-free flexible cable that meets European standards, specially designed for environments with high security requirements.
It is made of a finely twisted multi-strand bare copper conductor, surrounded by polyolefin insulation low smoke halogen free. In case of fire, it does not release toxic or corrosive gases, making it ideal for public places with high population density (like government buildings, means of transport) as well as for industrial sites where sensitive and high-value equipment is located.
This cable is resistant to oils and chemical agents, with a nominal voltage of 300/500 V and a wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to +90 °C. It can be installed in conduits, concrete gutters or other confined spaces, thus guaranteeing the safety of people in the event of evacuation due to fire.
Construction
| Driver | Flexible electrolytic copper conductive core (Class V) according to UNE-EN 60228 and in 60228 |
| Insulating | Thermostable material with a polyolefin base with low smoke and corrosive gas emissions, type El-5 according to UNE 21027-9 et HD 22.9S3 :2007 |
| ZMS CABLE is able to manufacture custom H05Z-K cables, according to the customer's technical needs. | |
Application
- Wiring of public buildings (hospitals, schools, stations, airports)
- Installations in public transport vehicles
- Electronic or chemical industries, areas with high density of sensitive equipment
- Installation in conduits, chute, or concrete sheaths
