BS6724 single core LSZH armoured cable
with aluminium conductor is designed
for fixed low voltage power distribution.
It is suitable for buildings,
infrastructure projects, industrial facilities,
data centres, transport systems
and public utility installations.
The cable is designed for installations
where low smoke zero halogen performance
and mechanical protection are required.
The aluminium conductor provides a practical
solution for power distribution projects
where weight and cost are important factors.
The XLPE insulation provides reliable
electrical performance and thermal stability.
The LSZH sheath helps reduce smoke emission
and corrosive gas release in the event of fire.
For single core AC systems,
non-magnetic armour such as aluminium wire armour
is commonly used to reduce magnetic losses.
The armoured construction provides
mechanical protection for demanding
installation routes.
This cable is commonly installed on cable trays,
in ducts, in risers, in plant rooms
and in protected underground routes.
The cable should be selected according to
voltage rating, conductor size,
conductor material, armour type,
installation method and project specification.
