UL 2731 Flame Retardant LSZH Power Cable | 600V Telecom Equipment | Indoor/Outdoor UL 2731 Flame Retardant LSZH Power Cable | 600V Telecom Equipment | Indoor/Outdoor

UL2731 Listed LSZH Power Cable for Telecom Central Offices (Indoor/Outdoor)

Product Overview

This UL2731 listed cable provides critical power distribution for telecommunications central offices and similar infrastructure. Engineered for maximum safety, it delivers Flame Retardant (FR), Low Smoke, Zero Halogen (LSZH) performance to minimize fire risks and toxic emissions. Available in indoor (grey sheath) and outdoor (black UV-stabilized sheath) configurations, it ensures reliable power transmission in diverse environments.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Safety Compliance: Meets stringent FR/LSZH requirements (IEC 60754, IEC 61034)

  • Dual Environment Use: Grey sheath (indoor), Black UV-resistant sheath (outdoor)

  • Robust Shielding: AL/PET foil + tinned CCA wire braid for EMI protection

  • High-Temperature Rating: 90°C continuous operation (dry)

  • UL Certified: Listed per UL 2731 (File E471801)

Cable Structure

  1. Conductor: Tinned copper, Class 5 per IEC 60228

  2. Insulation: FR-LSZH polyolefin

  3. Shield: Dual-layer - AL/PET foil + braided tinned CCA wires (SZ-stranding)

  4. Sheath:
