Standard PVC is a liability. Top Cable Toxfree® is the solution.
European-engineered LSZH cable that protects human life and critical equipment during a fire.
Why LSZH MattersDownload Product Guide ›
The Problem: The Hidden Cost of PVC
Most Australian installations rely on standard PVC. In a fire, PVC releases dense black smoke and hydrochloric acid gas.
- Zero Visibility: Escape routes become impassable in seconds.
- Equipment Destruction: Acid gas corrodes sensitive electronics (servers, switchgear) long after the fire is out.
- Toxic Exposure: Halogens are hazardous to human health.
The Solution: Top Cable Toxfree® Technology
Manufactured by Top Cable and supplied by Powerflex.
- Low Smoke (IEC 61034): Maintains visibility for safe evacuation.
- Zero Halogen (IEC 60754): No toxic or corrosive gas emission.
- Fire Retardant (IEC 60332): Prevents the flame from travelling along the cable run.
Ideal Applications
- Public Infrastructure: Preventing acid damage to servers during minor electrical fires.
- Data Centres: Acid gas corrodes sensitive electronics (servers, switchgear) long after the fire is out.
- Confined Spaces: Marine and mining environments with poor ventilation.

The Difference in a Fire: PVC vs Toxfree®
Standard PVC
High Risk
- Dense black smoke
- Releases hydrochloric acid
- Corrodes equipment, blocks exits, toxic to inhale
Top Cable Toxfree®
Maximum Safety
- Low translucent smoke
- 0% halogens
- Protects electronics, safe evacuation, non-toxic
The PVC Risk Factor
When PVC burns, it releases hydrochloric acid gas and dense black smoke. This corrodes sensitive electronics (servers, switchgear) and blocks escape routes. Toxfree® LSZH eliminates this risk, ensuring visibility and equipment protection during a fire event.
| Feature | Standard PVC | Toxfree® LSZH | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Halogen Content | High (≈18% Cl) | Zero | PVC creates acid gas; LSZH does not |
| Acid Gas Emission | ⚠️>20% HCl | <0.5% HCl | Protects sensitive switchgear & reduces insurance risk |
| Smoke Density | ⚠️Dense, black | Light, translucent | Ensures escape routes remain visible for safe evacuation |
| Light Transmittance | <15% | >60% | Enables safe evacuation |
| Toxic Fumes | High | Low | Mitigates liability for occupant safety |
| Standard | AS/NZS 5000.1 | IEC 60754 / 61034 | Ready for Green Star & Tier 1 projectsReady for Green Star & Tier 1 projects |
The new standard for High-Rise and Public Infrastructure.
Toxfree® eliminates corrosive acid gas and toxic smoke, protecting your equipment and your reputation.
