SMOKEGUARD compounds with increased flexibility
Today's fire standards require low flame and smoke properties for ethernet wiring cables, reducing the risk of smoke or fire spreading through pressurized airflow pathways while allowing for ease of installation and flexibility to reach tighter angles and enable connections. New SMOKEGUARD compounds are designed to achieve high levels of flexibility.
