300/500V XLPE insulated LSZH sheathed
multicore cable to BS7211 is designed
for fixed wiring and low voltage
building installations.
It is suitable for commercial buildings,
public facilities, hospitals, airports,
schools, data centres and transport systems.
The cable is used where low smoke
zero halogen performance is required
to reduce smoke emission and corrosive gas
release in the event of fire.
The XLPE insulation provides reliable
electrical performance and thermal stability.
The LSZH outer sheath provides low smoke
and halogen free performance for safer
indoor installation environments.
This cable is commonly used for lighting,
power, control and general fixed wiring
circuits in buildings.
As an unarmoured cable, it should be
installed where mechanical protection
is provided by conduit, trunking,
cable tray or other protected wiring systems.
The cable should be selected according to
voltage rating, number of cores,
conductor size, installation method,
fire performance requirement
and project specification.
