ST. LOUIS--()--Belden (NYSE:BDC), a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission-critical applications, announces new low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jackets on some of its most popular and reliable standard cables. The environmentally-friendly cables are an extension of the company’s GreenChoice solutions for customers looking for green alternatives to traditional products.
GreenChoice LSZH-jacketed cables are fully-recyclable, halogen-free and meet all current environmental standards, including WEE, REACH, RoHS and Prop 65. Halogen-free GreenChoice cables are non-toxic and can be deposited in landfills.
GreenChoice cables are particularly beneficial when installed in control and instrumentation applications, computer and CAD/CAM equipment, power supplies, audio, personal computers, POS and automotive – wherever humans or animals are in close proximity to the cables and could be exposed to halogens.

meets the requirements of LEED Pilot Credit 54 for up to 2 LEED points
