Firetox Flame Retardant Cables 

Firetox Flame Retardant Cables

LSZH Flame Retardant RS 485 Databus Cables

APPLICATION

The cables are designed for RS 485 data connections where continued functionality is required during a fire

situation. This cable combines low capacitance insulation with one of the highest levels of screening to provide

high speed, interference free, data transmission where continued functionality is required during a fire situation.
