LIHCH Halogen-Free Braid-Screened Signal and Control Cable

ETK Kablo’s LIHCH cable is a halogen-free, braid-shielded signal and control cable designed for reliable data and signal transmission in industrial automation, instrumentation, and building control systems. Its copper braid screen (C) provides robust protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring accurate and noise-free communication in sensitive environments.

EMI Protection and Signal Integrity

The tinned copper braid screen minimizes interference and signal crosstalk, maintaining signal stability in control circuits installed near power lines or in cable trays. This makes the LIHCH ideal for process automation, HVAC systems, building management systems (BMS), and instrumentation applications that require EMI shielding and reliable performance.

Halogen-Free, Flame-Retardant Construction

Manufactured with fine-stranded copper conductors and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSOH) sheath, this cable combines flexibility, fire safety, and mechanical strength. The halogen-free materials minimize toxic and corrosive gas emissions during fire, meeting IEC 60332-1 and related international standards for flame retardancy and halogen-free performance.

Applications and Installation

The LIHCH signal and control cable is designed for fixed indoor installations in dry or slightly humid environments. It is widely used in control panels, automation cabinets, BMS systems, instrumentation setups, and production lines that demand safe, interference-free, and flexible signal cabling.

Frequently Asked Questions about LS0H and Cable Materials

What is an LS0H cable?

LS0H (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), also written as LSZH, refers to cables made with halogen-free flame-retardant materials that emit minimal smoke and no corrosive gases when exposed to fire. These cables, such as ETK Kablo’s LIHCH, are ideal for public buildings, transportation systems, and industrial automation where fire safety and low toxicity are essential.

Is LSZH better than PVC?

Yes, LSZH cables are generally considered safer than PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) cables in fire scenarios. While PVC is durable and cost-effective, it releases dense smoke and toxic halogen gases when burned. LSZH cables, like ETK Kablo’s LIHCH, provide enhanced fire safety with reduced environmental and health risks, making them preferred for enclosed spaces and public facilities.

Is XLPE the same as LSF?

No, XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) and LSF (Low Smoke and Fume) are different materials. XLPE is a thermoset insulation material known for its high temperature resistance and electrical performance, while LSF describes a type of low-smoke, flame-retardant sheathing that reduces harmful emissions during fire. They serve different purposes within cable construction.

Is XLPE better than PVC?

XLPE cables generally outperform PVC cables in terms of thermal stability, current capacity, and long-term durability. XLPE insulation can withstand higher operating temperatures (up to 90°C), while PVC softens under heat. However, for control and signal cables where flexibility and halogen-free properties are critical, LSZH or LSF materials — such as used in LIHCH — are preferred.
