Zion Communication’s UL and ETL compliant cables stand as a testimony of the company’s devotion to the utmost safety protocols, thus assuring users of reliable network links for such critical facilities as data centers, hospitals, airports, and industrial plants.
The approval of a cable with UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and ETL (Intertek Testing Laboratories) marks served as testimony that such a product has successfully undergone testing and verification according to the North American standards known to be referred to as UL 444, 13, and 1666.
Regardless of the fact that these two logos emerged from different testing entities, they function in the same way, ensuring compliance with the electric regulations of the US and Canada.
The certification is conferred by Underwriters Laboratories, which is one of the oldest independent testing agencies in the US.
The test seeks to evaluate fire resistance, dielectric strength, insulation quality, and jacket flame propagation.
It's typical for fire alarm cables as well as plenum (CMP) and riser (CMR) communication cables.
The mark is issued by Intertek, a testing and certification body of international level which is part of the OSHA Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) program.
Ideally proves that the products inclusively conform to the UL or CSA safety standards and are examined by a different accredited body.
Find application mostly in communication cables, data cables, and industrial control cables that need fast certification and also be accepted more than one region.
In short: UL formulates the standard; ETL certifies compliance with the same standard.
Zion Communication’s UL and ETL cables are subjected to comprehensive tests that verify fire safety, electrical reliability, and structural durability.
| Test Category | Purpose | Standard Example |
|---|---|---|
| Fire Propagation | Limits flame spread within vertical shafts | UL 1666, UL 910 |
| Smoke Emission | Ensures low smoke density for evacuation safety | UL 910 (Plenum Test) |
| Conductor Resistance | Confirms low signal loss | UL 444 |
| Dielectric Strength | Prevents insulation breakdown | UL 1581 |
| Material Traceability | Tracks all raw compounds and conductors | Internal FPC System |
Each cable must pass 100% continuity and dielectric tests before packaging, ensuring consistent quality from the production floor to final installation.
Zion’s UL-certified fire-resistant cables are engineered for environments where flame retardancy and signal integrity are non-negotiable.
Key Series:
Fire Alarm Cable (UL 1424, UL 910 CMP/CMR) — for alarm and emergency systems.
Control & Instrumentation Cable (UL 13) — suitable for automation and industrial process control.
Low-Smoke LSZH Data Cable (UL 444, CMP/CMR) — ideal for plenum and riser installations.
Features:
LSZH or PVC jackets designed for low toxicity
Mica or silicone insulation for extended fire endurance
Verified flame test performance per UL standards
Continuous marking traceability for compliance auditing
For high-performance networking applications, Zion offers ETL-certified communication cables that ensure consistent electrical transmission and structural shielding.
Key Series:
CAT5e / CAT6 / CAT6A S/FTP Ethernet Cables — tested for ANSI/TIA and UL 444 compliance.
Industrial RS-485 and Control Cables — verified for voltage, insulation, and EMI resistance.
Coaxial RG Series (ETL-listed) — used for CCTV, CATV, and RF signal transmission.
Highlights:
Verified by Intertek’s ETL laboratories
Compliant with UL and CSA test standards
100% tested for continuity, NEXT, and impedance stability
Available in PVC, PE, or LSZH jackets for indoor and outdoor use
The cable certifications with UL and ETL provide total assurance to contractors, consultants, and end users that the cable:
Corresponds with NEC and NFPA fire safety requirements
Is able to pass the inspections of the authorities without re-examination
Is able to mitigate project risk and ease the documentation in electrical audits
Makes a significant impact in international bidding requirements since many tend have UL/ETL marks to comply
Not only do certified cables make import and customs clearance in the U.S. and Canada easier, but they also drive project delivery timetables.
Zion Communication upholds ISO 9001 standards for their Factory Production Control (FPC) and Quality Management System (QMS).
Every production of the UL and ETL cables is subjected to:
Raw material verification (copper purity, insulation thickness)
In-process resistance and flame propagation tests
Final marking and serial traceability inspection
Through this system, Zion ensures that every cable installed in the field matches the safety and performance of the tested sample.
In the North American market, trust is built through proof — and proof comes from certification.
Zion Communication’s UL and ETL certified cables stand as symbols of safety, reliability, and global quality assurance, empowering engineers and project owners to build with confidence.
