Cicoil, the global leader in highly flexible flat cable technology now offers Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Single Conductor Cables for applications that require non-toxic, corrosive free, low smoke, flame retardant, zero halogen content and environmentally friendly cables. The Single Conductor’s Ultra-flex wire and outer Flexx-Sil™ rubber jacketing material has been tested by a UKAS certified lab for smoke, toxicity, flammability and halogen content, and the cable passed.

Typically, electrical cables manufactured with PVC, Neoprene and Fluoropolymers require the addition of halogens to make them flame retardant and to withstand high temperatures. However, when cables containing halogens are burned, toxic fumes and acidic gases (when bonded with hydrogen) are produced, which sear the eyes, nose, mouth and throat to cause severe respiratory damage, disorientation and even death.

Fortunately, Cicoil’s proprietary Flexx-Sil™ jacketing material contains zero halogens, no additives and by nature are flame retardant (HFFR), so they are the safer alternative to those cables manufactured with harmful halogens. Due to its unique mixture of materials, the ultra-pure Flexx-Sil™ does not ignite easily, and if ignited, will not produce black smoke or toxic gas during combustion. In addition, Cicoil’s crystal-clear, non-corrosive jacket does not contain color additives, plasticizers or CFC’s, which are typically found in most cable jacketing materials.

The Hi-Flex Unshielded Single Conductor Cable is available from 30 AWG to 4 AWG in continuous lengths, cut to order, or as assemblies, complete with lugs or connectors of your choice, 100% tested and inspected. Larger and smaller AWG versions, as well as modified jacket thickness, are available by request.
