TRATOS® 6491B – H07Z
LSZH Conduit Wire

Now officially identified by the designations H07Z-U and H07Z-R, 6491B cables are also known by an old CMA Code 6491B. Cables designated “-U” have class 1 conductors, “-R” have class 2 conductors” flexible class 5 conductors designated “-K” are available on request. Tratos manufacture a complete range of cables with special fire performance for building and construction applications that are both safe and reliable when correctly selected, installed and properly used.
