The difference between high temperature network cable, UL fire retardant network cable and low smoke and halogen free fire network cable

　　High-temperature Cable, UL fire-retardant cable and low-SMoke halogen-free cable are significantly different in many aspects. Here is a detailed comparison of these three types of cable:

　　First, material properties

　　High temperature network cable

　　Typical materials: such as FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer), etc.

　　Features: It has excellent high temperature resistance and can maintain stable physical and chemical properties in high temperature environments.

　　UL fire retardant network cable

　　Typical materials: CM-grade cables are mostly made of PVC, CMR-grade cables are made of highly flame-retardant PVC, and CMP-grade cables are made of fluorine (e.g. PTFE or FEP).

　　Features: According to different grades of UL standards (e.g. CM, CMR, CMP, etc.), it has different flame retardant properties and application scenarios.

　　Low smoke and halogen free fireproof network cable

　　Typical material: Halogen-free cross-linked polyethylene flame retardant material.

　　Features: When the wire burns, no haloic acid gas is released, and the amount of smoke is minimal, which improves safety and reduces harmful gas emissions during fire.

　　Second, flame retardant performance

　　High temperature network cable

　　The main advantage lies in high temperature resistance rather than specific flame retardancy.

　　UL fire retardant network cable

　　It has a clear flame retardant rating and testing standards (e.g. UL 1581, UL 1666, UL 910, etc.).

　　Flame retardancy varies according to the grade, and CMP cable has the highest flame retardant requirements.

　　Low smoke and halogen free fireproof network cable

　　It has good flame retardancy and can be automatically extinguished iMMediately after the open flame leaves.

　　The main advantage is that it is low-smoke, non-toxic, and suitable for occasions with high air quality requirements.

　　III. Application scenarios

　　High temperature network cable

　　It is suitable for scenarios that require working in high-temperature environments, such as industrial furnaces, heat treatment equipment, and high-temperature laboratories.

　　UL fire retardant network cable

　　According to different levels, it is suitable for different scenarios.

　　CM level: generally used for horizONTal routing on the same floor.

　　CMR grade: mainly used in indoor vertical trunk parts, such as vertical trunk subsystems.

　　CMP grade: mainly used for cables in horizontal subsystems that are directly applied in ventilated or forced ventilation environments without metal pipelines.

　　Low smoke and halogen free fireproof network cable

　　It is widely used in the field of home improvement, as well as in occasions with high air quality requirements.

　　It is also suitable for places with high fire safety requirements, such as hospitals, schools, railway stations, and other crowded places.

　　IV. Price and cost

　　High temperature network cable

　　Due to the use of special high-temperature materials, the price is relatively high.

　　UL fire retardant network cable

　　Prices vary according to flame retardant grades and materials, with CMP-grade cables being the most expensive.

　　Low smoke and halogen free fireproof network cable

　　The price is relatively moderate, making it suitable for wide promotion and application.

　　In summary, high-temperature cable, UL fire-retardant cable and low-smoke halogen-free cable have significant differences in material characteristics, flame retardancy, application scenarios, and price and cost. Which cable to choose depends on the specific application needs and scenarios.
