LSOH and PiMF cat. 6 network cable
Cable w / RJ45 connector Network
Conventional cables made of polyethylene, PVC or Thermoplastic Urethane (TPU). In case of fire the halogen containing cables develop hydrogen chloride (hydrogen chloride) that turns into hydrochloric acid when it comes into contact with water. LSOH or LSZH ( Low Smoke Zero Halogen ) is a to classification of materials typically used in the manufacture of cables. LSOH is composed of thermoplastic or thermoset components which act flame-retardant. There does not develop dangerous gas and acid compounds at high temperatures or in case of fire. This type of cables is very suitable for use in poorly ventilated areas. LSZH cables has become very popular to use where protection of personnel and equipment has a high priority as in public institutions, kindergartens, schools and recreation centers.
LSZH cable is gray with 100% copper wire, 3um gold on connectors and just completed leaders.
PiMF: Stands for Pairs in Metal Foil and is a term given to the network cabling with an extra layer of insulation around each conductor pair. In addition, the cables 4 pairs, and conductors are twisted (generally for network cables)
LSOH and PiMF - Shielded Twisted-Pair straight conducted conductors (24 AWG):
