These compounds, which provide low smoke generation and low flame propagation performance have enabled cables to meet and exceed all applicable performance testing requirements of UL Subjects 13, 1424 and 444 including those of NFPA 262 for Flame Travel and Smoke. They’re also the preferred choice of electricians as cables made with these lower-flexural modulus compounds resist kinks and knuckling making them easier to install, especially in tight plenum spaces.
Some of the newest innovations have even lower smoke and higher oxygen indexes compared to the previously commercialized products enabling larger, higher density cables to comply with NFPA 262 requirements.
