Product Description

Anchor by Panasonic Fireguard FR-LSH Wire is a fire-safety house wire for homes, high-rise apartments and commercial buildings. Its FR-LSH (Flame Retardant Low Smoke Low Halogen) insulation resists fire, gives off about 50% less smoke than regular domestic wire, and limits halogen acid gas to under 18%, helping keep escape routes visible and safer in a fire.

The 99.97% pure copper conductor is Class 5 flexible for easy pulling through bends in conduits, and the insulation includes anti-rodent and anti-termite additives to protect concealed wiring. Available in 1 to 6 sq mm wire thickness, 180 m coils and five colours.

FAQs

1) What does FR-LSH mean?

Flame Retardant Low Smoke Low Halogen. The wire resists fire, gives off less smoke and releases far less toxic acid gas than standard PVC wire, making evacuation safer.

2) Is this wire halogen-free?

No. It is Low Halogen, a premium PVC-based wire with halogen acid gas emission kept below 18%. If your project specifically requires zero-halogen (ZHFR / halogen-free) wire, choose a halogen-free product instead.

3) Why choose Fireguard FR-LSH over regular FR wire?

Regular FR wire slows flame spread but can still give off dense smoke and toxic gas. Fireguard also cuts smoke by about 50% and limits halogen gas, so exit routes stay clearer in a fire.

4) Is it suitable for home wiring?

Yes. It suits all home wiring, and is especially worthwhile in apartments and high-rise buildings. The anti-rodent and anti-termite protection also helps in concealed wall wiring.

5) How do I identify genuine Anchor Fireguard wire?

Genuine wire has the brand name, series, wire size and specifications printed along the insulation, and comes in original Anchor by Panasonic packaging.
