FR-LSZH stands for "Flame Retardant Low Smoke Zero Halogen." This designation indicates specific properties of the cable that make it suitable for indoor use, particularly in environments where fire safety is a concern. Here’s a breakdown of what each part means:

1. Flame Retardant (FR): This means that the cable is designed to resist ignition and will not propagate flames easily. In the event of a fire, it slows down the spread of flames, which can be crucial in limiting damage and providing more time for evacuation.

2. Low Smoke (LS): Cables that are labeled as low smoke produce minimal smoke when they burn. This is important because smoke can be more dangerous than the flames themselves, impairing visibility and making evacuation more difficult.

3. Zero Halogen (ZH): This indicates that the cable does not contain halogenated compounds (like chlorine or bromine). Halogenated materials can release toxic gases when burned, which can pose health risks during a fire. Zero halogen materials are much safer in this regard.

FR-LSZH cables are ideal for indoor installations in places such as:

• Commercial buildings
• Schools
• Hospitals
• Public transport systems
• Any areas where people gather and safety is a priority

Using FR-LSZH cables helps ensure a safer environment by reducing the risk of fire and minimizing harmful smoke in the event of a fire, making them a smart choice for indoor wiring projects.
