Technical Standards
To ensure survivability under extreme fire conditions involving flames, mechanical impact, and water spray, these products are strictly tested against multiple domestic and international authoritative standards:
*   Flame Retardancy: Compliant with the GB/T 18380.3 series (equivalent to IEC 60332-3), covering classes A, B, C, and D.
*   Fire Resistance: Compliant with GB/T 19216.21 and relevant requirements for circuit integrity.
*   Environmental Safety (for LSZH series): Compliant with GB/T 17650.2 (halogen acid gas emission) and GB/T 17651.2 (smoke light transmittance ≥ 60%).


Model Logic and Nomenclature

The model names are precisely composed of a "Combustion Characteristic Code" and the "Base Cable Model", facilitating accurate selection for design institutes and engineering firms:
1.  Flame-Retardant (FR):
*   Halogenated FR: Identified by codes ZA, ZB, ZC, or ZD, representing flame-retardant classes A, B, C, and D respectively (Class A offers the highest performance).
*   Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) FR: Prefixed with WDZ (or WDZA, WDZB, etc.), emphasizing environmental safety and non-toxicity.
2.  Fire-Resistant:
*   Regular Fire-Resistant: Identified by the code N, often combined with FR levels (e.g., ZAN, ZBN).
*   LSZH Fire-Resistant: Identified by WDZN and its derivative models.


Core Performance Indicators and Advantages

*   Graduated Flame Protection: Based on the volume density ($L/m$) of non-metallic materials, the cables undergo fire tests ranging from 0.5 L/m to 7 L/m, ensuring the desired fire-prevention effect across various installation densities.
*   Vitality in High-Heat Environments: Fire-resistant models maintain circuit integrity at rated voltages in flames between 750°C and 1000°C for over 90 minutes (plus a 15-minute cooling period).
*   Optimized Evacuation Environment (LSZH Type):
*   Low Toxicity: The PH weighted value of combustion products is ≥ 4.3, with conductivity ≤ 10 μS/mm, minimizing the risk of suffocation and corrosion from fire smoke.
*   High Visibility: Achieves a minimum light transmittance of over 60%, ensuring escape routes remain clearly visible during an emergency.


Core Application Scenarios

Due to their versatile fire-safety configurations, these cables are widely deployed in projects with high life-safety requirements:
*   Densely Populated and High-Rise Buildings: Ideal for power transmission and distribution in shopping malls, hospitals, hotels, and exhibition centers.
*   Critical Public Infrastructure: Essential for subways, airports, underground tunnels, and major transportation hubs.
*   High-Precision and Specialized Industrial Environments: Specified for nuclear power plants, petrochemical facilities, and data centers where low-voltage distribution stability is a critical requirement.
