Flame Retardancy｜Glossary
This section is part of the Coaxial Cable Glossary for RF and coaxial systems.
What Is Flame Retardancy?
Flame retardancy refers to the property of a material that resists ignition and slows the spread of fire.
It is an important safety characteristic used to reduce fire hazards in electrical and electronic products.
Flame-retardant materials are commonly used in cable jackets, insulators, and other protective components.
Flame Retardancy in RF and Coaxial Systems
In RF and coaxial systems, flame retardancy is especially important for cable jackets and insulation materials.
Flame-retardant cables help improve safety in environments where fire prevention is critical.
Evaluation standards such as UL specifications are commonly used to assess flame-retardant performance.
