GVCSTV LSLH-C1 Cable

What is GVCSTV LSLH-C1 Cable?

The GVCSTV LSLH-C1 cable is a low-voltage, unarmored and screened flexible control cable featuring flexible tinned copper conductors, fire-retardant thermoplastic insulation, a separator tape, a tinned copper wire braid (TCWB) screen, and a PVC outer sheath complying with NF C 32-013, NF C 32070 C1, IEC 61034-2, and IEC 60754-1 standards. It is designed for flexible control and instrumentation signal transmission up to 0.6/1kV in mission-critical facilities requiring superior fire behavior and electromagnetic shielding.

Engineered to mitigate electrical noise and prevent rapid flame propagation in high-density installations, this cable combines an anti-inductive TCWB braid that blocks electromagnetic cross-talk with specialized low-smoke, halogen-reduced (LSLH) materials that resist ignition under intense thermal exposure. Certified to the rigorous NF C 32070 C1 standard, it prevents fire spread along vertical and horizontal cable runs while preserving signal clarity between sensitive industrial instrumentation, PLCs, and control systems.

GVCSTV LSLH-C1 Cable Construction

• Conductor: Class 5 flexible tinned copper conductors complying with NF C 32-013 (CEI 228) for corrosion resistance and reliable termination.
• Insulation: High-grade fire-retardant thermoplastic compound engineered for thermal stability and low gas emission.
• Separator: Synthetic separator tape applied over the laid-up cores to ensure smooth mechanical stripping and core flexibility.
• Screen: Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB) providing an anti-inductive 360-degree electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield.
• Outer Sheath: Specially formulated Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound, flame retardant per NF C 32070 C1, IEC 60332-1-2, and IEC 60332-3-24 Cat C.
• Core Identification: Color-coded or numbered core arrangement per control cable manufacturing standards.
• Sheath Colour: Grey.

Applications

GVCSTV LSLH-C1 cables are engineered for flexible instrumentation, signaling, and process control wiring across commercial complexes, transportation hubs, power facilities, and industrial manufacturing plants. Their anti-inductive screening and certified C1 fire retardancy make them suitable for confined spaces and high-density cable trays where public safety and electrical noise immunity are mandatory.

Typical installation environments include:

• Public Infrastructure & Transport Networks: Underground metro stations, railway signaling tunnels, airports, and commercial centers requiring LSLH fire safety.
• Automated Industrial Facilities: Power and process control interconnects near variable speed drives, transformers, and automated machinery.
• Power Stations & Switchgear Cabinets: Anti-inductive instrumentation wiring in proximity to high-voltage equipment and magnetic fields.
• High-Density Cable Trays & Risers: Vertical shafts and multi-layer cable ducts demanding compliance with IEC 60332-3-24 Category C bunch flame testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the ‘NF C 32070 C1’ fire rating signify for GVCSTV LSLH control cables?
A: The NF C 32070 C1 classification represents the highest level of flame-retardant performance under French safety standards, verifying that the cable is non-propagating under severe combustion conditions to prevent fire spread across interconnected building zones.

Q: Why does GVCSTV LSLH-C1 utilize flexible tinned copper conductors instead of bare copper?
A: Tinned copper provides superior oxidation and corrosion resistance, particularly in humid or chemical environments, while enhancing solderability and long-term electrical contact stability at terminal connection points.

Q: How does the anti-inductive TCWB braid protect critical instrumentation circuits?
A: The dense Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB) provides a low-impedance 360-degree conductive barrier that intercepts electro-inductive noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by neighboring power lines and heavy industrial switchgear.

Q: What standard production lead times does Huadong Cable provide for international projects?
A: Our standard production and dispatch lead time is typically 15-25 working days, depending on the specific core count, conductor cross-section, and total project volume.
