8723-LSZH 300V Alternative Cable

What is 8723-LSZH 300V Alternative Cable?

The 8723-LSZH 300V Alternative Cable is an industrial-grade, 2-pair screened data, instrumentation, and control cable engineered as a low smoke zero halogen replacement for traditional 8723 series lines. Featuring 22 AWG Class 2 stranded tinned copper conductors, Polyethylene (PE) core insulation, an overall aluminium foil screening tape, and an integrated tinned copper drain wire, it delivers clean, low-distortion signal transmission across commercial and industrial infrastructure.

Enclosed in a durable, UV-resistant LSZH thermoplastic compound, the cable is rated for 300V operation and maintains structural and electrical stability from -20°C to +80°C. Its aluminium foil shield blocks high-frequency electromagnetic noise, while the zero-halogen outer jacket eliminates corrosive acid gases during combustion, preventing secondary damage to expensive server electronics and ensuring clear visibility along evacuation pathways.

8723-LSZH 300V Alternative Cable Construction

• Conductor: 22 AWG (7/0.24mm) Class 2 stranded tinned copper conductors offering high electrical conductivity and superior corrosion resistance.
• Insulation: Polyethylene (PE) compound providing low mutual capacitance and high insulation resistance.
• Screen / Shield: Overall Aluminium Foil Tape screen delivering 100% coverage against high-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Drain Wire: Stranded tinned copper drain wire in direct contact with the foil shield for quick, reliable grounding.
• Outer Sheath: UV-resistant Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) thermoplastic compound.
• Core Identification: Pair 1: Black and Red; Pair 2: Green and White.
• Sheath Colour: Grey.

Applications

The 8723-LSZH 300V Alternative Cable is designed for low-voltage signal communication, instrumentation loops, and automated control circuits where electromagnetic noise immunity and zero-halogen safety are mandatory.

• Computer & Data Transmission Systems: Serial RS-232/RS-422 communications, interface links between industrial controllers, and computer peripheral circuits.
• Instrumentation & Process Automation: Low-frequency analogue and digital sensor loops, supervisory telemetry channels, and actuator controllers.
• Security & Access Control Networks: Card reader interconnects, biometric access terminals, intrusion detection sensors, and alarm panels.
• Point-of-Sale (POS) & Retail Systems: Secure data interconnects between electronic checkout registers, transaction terminals, and local controllers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the primary purpose of the overall aluminium foil tape screen and drain wire?
A: The aluminium foil tape provides 100% physical electrostatic shielding to protect low-voltage data signals from high-frequency electromagnetic noise, while the stranded tinned copper drain wire allows rapid, low-resistance termination and ground dissipation.

Q: Why is an LSZH outer jacket preferred over conventional PVC for this cable?
A: An LSZH jacket emits minimal smoke and no toxic, corrosive halogen acid gases (such as HCl) during a fire, safeguarding human evacuation routes and preventing acid-induced corrosion of sensitive computing and electronic equipment.

Q: Can 8723-LSZH alternative cable be routed outdoors or exposed to direct sunlight?
A: Yes, the cable features a specially formulated UV-resistant LSZH outer jacket, protecting the polymer from embrittlement and surface degradation caused by solar ultraviolet exposure.

Q: What payment terms does Huadong Cable Group accept for international orders?
A: We accept standard international commercial payment terms, including Telegraphic Transfer (T/T, with 30% advance deposit and 70% against shipping documents) and 100% Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight.
