New line of SYSTIMAX® solutions feature the industry’s first Category 6A LSZH Riser Rated copper cable RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As part of an ongoing commitment to advancing sustainable building and environmentally-friendly engineering, CommScope, Inc., a global leader in infrastructure solutions for communications networks, has added new SYSTIMAX® LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) Riser Rated Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables to its high-performance GigaSPEED X10D, GigaSPEED XL and PowerSUM copper solutions. This new offering makes CommScope the industry’s first cabling manufacturer to introduce a Category 6A LSZH Riser Rated network solution. With reduced toxicity and removal of all halogens, CommScope’s LSZH Riser Rated UTP cables offer improved fire safety and eliminate the production of heavy, black smoke in the event of a fire – unlike common polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cables. Additionally, the absence of restricted substances including lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium (Cr-VI), polybrominated biphenyl (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs) increases the environmental safety of the cables. This is in accordance with the UK’s National Measurement Office’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommendations as well as National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) and Green Building Council specifications.
