APPLICATION
BS6724 four core LSZH armoured cable is used for fixed low voltage power distribution.
It is suitable for commercial buildings, public infrastructure, industrial plants, hospitals, data centres and utility projects.
The cable is designed for installations where low smoke, zero halogen performance and mechanical protection are required.
Four core construction is commonly used for three phase power systems with neutral conductor.
The steel wire armour provides mechanical protection for fixed installation.
