Halogen-free C13 to C14 power extension leads – LSZH

DINIC · Halogen-free electrical cabling

C13 to C14 power extension cable – halogen-free (LSZH)

DINIC’s halogen-free extension leads connect an IEC-C14 power source, such as a PDU or UPS, to equipment with an IEC-C13 connection. They are particularly suitable for professional power cabling in server rooms, network cabinets, AV installations and industrial applications.

The LSZH cable sheath is designed to minimise smoke emission and is free from halogen-containing sheath materials. This makes these extension leads a suitable choice for sensitive indoor areas, escape routes and technical installations with heightened requirements for preventive fire safety.

When is a halogen-free C13/C14 extension cable a sensible choice?

LSZH cold-equipment extension leads are particularly useful where material specifications, smoke emission, sensitive equipment or project-specific fire safety requirements are a factor. The specific specifications of the project and the relevant product are always the decisive factors.

Data centres & server rooms

Where sensitive IT infrastructure is involved, reduced smoke emission and lower exposure to corrosive fire gases can be important selection criteria.

Public Buildings

In schools, hospitals, administrative buildings and other premises with high footfall, halogen-free cables may form part of the project specification.

Industry & Engineering

For control systems, technical rooms and sensitive electronics, the smoke and corrosion behaviour of the cabling material may be relevant.

Tenders & Projects

If planners, procurement departments or tendering processes specify LSZH or halogen-free cables, the material specification is a clear selection criterion.

Important: Halogen-free does not mean fire-free

LSZH primarily describes the material properties in terms of halogen content and smoke emission. Even halogen-free cables can burn and produce harmful gases in the event of a fire. Requirements relating to flame spread, smoke density or fire behaviour must therefore always be assessed on the basis of the specific product specification and the applicable standards.

LSZH or standard PVC – what is the difference?

Characteristic LSZH / halogen-free Standard version
Halogen-containing sheath components No Possible depending on the material used
Smoke emission Designed for low smoke emission Depends on the sheath material used
Corrosive halogen gases Reduced by the use of halogen-free materials Possible with halogen-containing materials
Typical selection Sensitive infrastructure, defined project specifications General standard applications

What is the correct C13/C14 LSZH cable length?

The appropriate length depends on the distance between the power distribution point and the load. Within the rack, the cable should be long enough without creating unnecessarily large cable reserves.

1.00 m short connection runs
1.80 m universal standard length
3.00 m for larger racks and technical areas
5.00 m for longer connection runs

Correctly matching C13 and C14

IEC 60320 C13 The C13 connector is fitted to the cable and is plugged into a suitable C14 appliance socket.
IEC 60320 C14 The C14 plug on the extension lead is plugged into a suitable C13 socket on a PDU or UPS, for example.

THIS CATEGORY

C14 to C13 LSZH extension lead

Suitable if the power supply is already via an IEC connection, for example a PDU or UPS with a C13 socket.

ALTERNATIVE

Earthing plug to C13 LSZH power cable

Suitable when a device with a C14 input is to be powered directly from a European earth-connected socket.

Check the technical specifications for LSZH cables

‘Halogen-free’ alone does not describe all the technical properties of a cable. For purchasing, planning and tendering, the product data for the specific item should therefore always be consulted.

The C14 plug and C13 socket must be suitable for the installation.
Cable type: For example, H05Z1Z1-F for the LSZH versions offered here.
Cross-section: Note the conductor cross-section and electrical characteristics of the item.
Approvals: Check for VDE, ENEC or other requirements specific to the product and project.

LSZH in the context of testing: common terms

For halogen-free cable materials, different test methods may apply depending on the product specification. The following standards are provided here for general classification purposes only – the actual tests and compliance details must be taken from the relevant product certification.

IEC 60754 Classification of gases and acidity emitted from cable materials in the event of a fire.
EN / IEC 61034 Test context for smoke density and light transmission.
IEC 60332 Flame spread tests – depending on the cable and test setup.

Note: The mention of a standard here does not imply that every item in this category has automatically been tested in accordance with all the standards listed.

Frequently asked questions about halogen-free C13/C14 power extension leads

What does LSZH mean?

LSZH stands for ‘Low Smoke Zero Halogen’. This refers to cable materials that are halogen-free and designed to produce reduced smoke in the event of a fire.

What is the advantage of a halogen-free cable?

The main advantage lies in the reduced production of smoke and corrosive halogen-containing fire gases. This can be particularly relevant for people, sensitive electronics and technical infrastructure.

Is an LSZH cable non-combustible?

No. Halogen-free or LSZH does not automatically mean non-combustible or flame-retardant. Fire behaviour must be assessed on the basis of the specific cable construction and the tests specified.

Where are halogen-free C13/C14 cables used?

Typical applications include data centres, server rooms, PDU and UPS systems, public buildings, plant rooms, industrial facilities and projects with defined requirements for cable materials.

What is the difference between C13 and C14?

In this extension, C14 is the plug on the power source side and C13 is the coupler on the equipment side. The C13 coupler is plugged into a C14 equipment inlet.

Are halogen-free C13/C14 cables available in custom lengths?

For project and series production requirements, requests for different lengths, markings, packaging and customised cable assemblies can be made, subject to technical feasibility.
