Abstract: In this paper, the effect factors on the smoke production in cable's combustion were analyzed using cone calorimeter and smoke density instrument. It was found that an increase in radiation intensity was companied by an increase in smoke releasing. The angle of the placement, the attachment material, and the oxygen concentration of the environment also affected the characteristics of smoke production in cable's combustion, in which the placement angle constituted the most important one.

Key words: cable, cone calorimeter, smoke density instrument, combustion character, smoke
