Fire detector cable

The LHS Linear Heat Sensor is a fixed-temperature fire detector cable designed to protect a range of commercial and industrial fire applications. The sensor is a small- diameter cable capable of detecting heat from a fire over its entire length. The heat causes the cable's insulation to melt, allowing the two conductors to short together and create an alarm condition on the fire control panel. It's available in five alarm temperatures of 155°F, 185°F, 220°F, 350°F, and 465°F and connects directly to the initiating circuit of any fire alarm panel.

Structured wire cabling

Composite cables are available in multiple configurations to support residential structured wiring installations. The cables reduce both installation time and the chance of violating the minimum bend radius of the cable. The individual components support many technologies, including extended bandwidth satellite service, 1,000 Base-T Ethernet, and high-definition TV signals. TIA/EIA568-B.2-compliant UTP cables and RG6U Quad Shield coaxial cables help these composite cables surpass the Grade 2 requirements specified in the TIA/EIA-570-A Residential Telecommunications Standards.
