The invention relates to an irradiation crosslinked halogen-free low-smoke cable sheath material used for photovoltaic cables. The irradiation crosslinked halogen-free low-smoke cable sheath material possesses high temperature resistance, ozone resistance, weather resistance, ultraviolet resistance, and excellent flame resistance, and is harmless for the environment and human body. The irradiation crosslinked halogen-free low-smoke cable sheath material is prepared from 20 to 40% of ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, 0 to 20% of low density polyethylene, 30 to 60% of aluminium hydroxide, 0 to 10% of calcium magnesium carbonate, 1 to 10% of a coupling agent and a cross-linking agent, 1 to 10% of a compatilizer, 0.1 to 1% of an antioxidant, 0.1 to 1% of a lubricating agent, and 0.1 to 1% of a stabilizing agent. The irradiation crosslinked halogen-free low-smoke cable sheath material is capable of solving a problem that conventional PVC sheath material is harmful for the environment and human body, is nontoxic, is green, is friendly to the environment, and possesses high temperature resistance, ozone resistance, weather resistance, ultraviolet resistance, and excellent flame resistance.
