Halogen-free cables are environmentally friendly

June 18, 2013 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

GenFree II cables from General Cable, Highland Heights, Ky use 17FREE technology, making them halogen-free and environmentally friendly, without degrading the electrical performance of the cable.

General-Cable-GenFree-II-LSZH-Cables

Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen (LSZH) insulation and jacket system possesses critical characteristics not normally seen in LSZH designs. They provide excellent wet and dry electrical performance at 90ºC, provide flame-retardant properties that allow cables to meet IEEE 1202 flame requirements as well as UL1685 flame/smoke testing, and also be compliant with ICEA T-33-655.  GenFree II are also oil-resistant, meet UL 44 cold bend testing at -40°C, are RoHS and REACH complaint, and feature General Cable’s Low Friction (LF) jacket for ease of installation.

The following design is available:

  • 600 V UL Type RHH/RHW-2/USE-2 — dual layer composite insulation (Specification 5075)

The following two designs are available on a make-to-order basis:

  • 600 V UL Type RHH/RHW-2/USE-2 ― single layer design (Specification 5275)
  • 600 V UL Type XHHW-2 ― single layer construction (Specification 5125)
