flintstone Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hi, I am trying to find information on whether NI cables are halogen free and/or fire retardant. The cables we currently use are NI types SHC64-64-EPM, SHC68-68-RMIO, SHC68-68-RDIO, SH68-C68-S and SH100-100-F. Does somebody know whether this is stated in some datasheet, I didn't find it up to now. Cheers, flintstone Quote Link to comment
Tim_S Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Have you tried calling NI? I don't expect the cables are fire retardant, however I believe you'll need to describe your application to answer if they meet you need. Quote Link to comment
flintstone Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Just to give an update on this: We are in contact with NI, the standard cables are not halogen free, there are several costumers interested in halogen free cables, NI is exploring the possibility of manufacturing those provided the quantities requested are large enough. We are still exploring here, we have already spent several k Euros on cables, replacing them with other cables will mean in the end ~15 k Euros for cables ... this is definitly too much.
