CW1308 telephone cable is used to interconnect equipment in fixed installations. White versions are generally available with PVC (polyvinylchloride), LSF or LSZH sheathing. The black version comes in PVC only as standard.
Black sheathed CW1308 telephone are suitable for internal or above ground external use (e.g. clipped to walls) but are not designed for submersion in water, running through ducts or direct burial applications. The white sheathed cables are suitable for internal use only.
Note: low smoke zero halogen / halogen free (LSZH, LSOH, LSHF, OHLS) should not be confused with LSF (low smoke and fume), an in-depth explanation is shown on our LSZH Control Flex front page.
