Communication & Data Cable
Low-smoke halogen-free sheathing, foam-skin insulation and shielding / wrapping materials with foaming and taping lines for communication and data cables.
What this application demands
Communication and data cables depend on stable electrical performance and clean construction — and, increasingly, on low-smoke halogen-free safety in risers and plenums. LSZH supplies LSZH sheathing and insulation compounds, plus the foaming, pair-twisting and taping equipment and the shielding and wrapping materials that complete a data cable.
Signal integrity
Foam-skin insulation and tight dimensional control keep impedance and attenuation consistent, which is essential for data and high-frequency communication cables.
Fire performance in risers and plenums
Cables routed through shared building spaces increasingly require low-smoke halogen-free jackets that limit smoke and corrosive gas.
Shielding and separation
Foil and braid shielding plus wrapping and separation tapes control crosstalk and protect the cable core structure.
Consistent, high-speed production
Thin walls and fine conductors demand stable extrusion and precise stranding and taping at speed.
Compounds for this application
HZDFR4100 thermoplastic LSZH suits communication cable sheathing; XD2200 provides low-smoke halogen-free insulation. Pair these with our shielding, wrapping and filling auxiliary materials for the full cable structure.
Equipment to produce it
Physical / chemical foaming line
Foam-skin insulation for coaxial and data cables.
Pair / double-twisting machine
Twisting of pairs for data and communication cable.
Automatic PLC taping machine
Shielding and separation taping with overlap control.
Selection & structure
- Match insulation type (solid vs foam-skin) to the electrical target
- Select LSZH jackets for riser / plenum and public-space routing
- Plan shielding and wrapping layers with matched auxiliary materials
- Confirm pair / core count and screening method for the construction
Why LSZH for this application
- Compounds, shielding and wrapping materials from one source
- Foaming, twisting and taping equipment matched to the cable build
- Low-smoke halogen-free options for shared-space routing
- Engineering support for construction and selection
