LSZH Ecoflex Red Series Mini Video
Red series plasma grade mini video multicore LSZH
 This range features Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacketed versions of
the 2 and 5 way Van Damme Red series miniature video multicores. They
are mechanically and electrically the same but the use of LSZH jacketing
materials makes them appropriate for installation into public buildings
and other installations where LSZH cabling has been specified. The 2 way
coax is ideally suited to, and colour coded for, SHVS signals while the
5 way miniature will carry VGA and SVGA signals up to 30 metres unbuffered,
and can carry longer runs including XGA with active signal amplification.
Materials
Van Damme now use a higher purity oxygen free copper for the
conductors - Ultra Pure Oxygen Free Copper. The use of this material further
improves the conductivity of the cable resulting in faithful and accurate
picture information transmission.
Foam skin polyethylene is used for the conductor insulation. This special
insulation is made up of individual pockets of inert gas suspended in
polyethylene, resulting in a low dielectric constant and most importantly
low capacitance. The skin refers to the outer layer of the insulation,
which forms during the extrusion process. This skin is harder than the
layer of insulation below it ensuring that the conductor is well protected.
The dielectric constant of foam skin polyethylene remains stable over
a wide frequency range, essential for transmission of digital signals.
Other relevant properties include good stress and temperature resistance.
This insulated conductor is screened with 96% optical coverage bare oxygen
free copper and is then oversheathed with a special LSZH thermoplastic
compound SHF-1. This compound adheres to the regulations laid down in
IEC 60092-359 for halogen free materials for telecommunications cabling
in shipping. The individual colour coded conductors are laid up in an
overall jacket manufactured from the same material.
Applications
• All video installations requiring low smoke zero halogen cabling
• Transmission of a wide range of video signals including SVHS, SVGA,
YUV, RGBS and RGBHV
• 5 way type specifically sized to fit into D sub covers
• Uses industry standard RG 179 crimp BNCs
