Whether you're an installer, work in the maritime sector, or are responsible for cabling in public buildings, reliable coaxial cables are crucial. At Deltron.nl, you'll find a wide range of certified coaxial cables from SSB Electronic that meet the strictest requirements for safety, performance, and durability. In this blog post, we explain what makes these cables so special, what to look for, and which solution is best suited to your application.
Why choose certified coaxial cables?
Certified coaxial cables are mandatory in many environments, such as town halls, libraries, and event halls. This is due to their flame-retardant and halogen-free properties, which are crucial in the event of an emergency: the cables slow down fires and do not produce toxic gases or smoke.
These cables are also indispensable in public transport, wind turbines, offshore, and shipping. Here, they are exposed to extreme conditions such as vibration, UV radiation, saltwater, and temperature fluctuations. SSB Electronic cables are specially designed to maintain optimal performance in these situations.
What does the CPR regulation say?
Since July 1, 2017, it has been mandatory to classify cables according to the European Construction Products Regulation (CPR) EN 50575. This standard divides cables into fire classes (such as Cca, Dca, and Fca) based on flame spread, smoke development, and corrosiveness. All SSB Electronic cables are CE marked and include a Declaration of Performance (DoP), which can be found at Deltron.nl under the product photos under the "Manual" tab.
Fire classes and specifications
- s1a/b, s2, s3: smoke development (low to unspecified)
- d0, d1, d2: burning drops
- a1, a2, a3: corrosiveness of flue gases
These classifications help you choose the right cable for your application. For example: Cca-s1a,d0,a1 means very low smoke development, no flaming droplets, and hardly any corrosive smoke.
