APPLICATION

600/1000V XLPE insulated LSZH sheathed

power cable is designed for fixed

low voltage power distribution.

It is suitable for public buildings,

commercial buildings, industrial facilities,

tunnels, transport systems, hotels

and hospitals.

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.

This cable is commonly selected for projects

where flame retardant and halogen-free

performance is required.

As an unarmoured cable, it does not provide

metallic mechanical protection.

It is suitable for cable trays,

cable ducts, risers and protected

fixed installation routes.

Where additional mechanical protection

is required, the cable should be installed

with suitable protection.

The cable should be selected according to

voltage rating, number of cores,

conductor size, sheath colour,

installation method and project specification.

FAQ

What is this cable used for?

It is used for fixed low voltage

power distribution.

It is suitable for public buildings,

commercial buildings, tunnels,

transport systems and industrial facilities.

What standard does this cable follow?

This cable is designed according to

BS 8573 requirements.

Is this cable LSZH?

Yes. This cable has an LSZH sheath.

The sheath helps reduce smoke emission

and corrosive gas release in the event of fire.

Is this cable armoured?

No. This page is for unarmoured

XLPE insulated LSZH sheathed cable.

It does not have metallic armour protection.

Is this a fire resistant cable?

This cable has flame retardant

and LSZH performance.

It should not be described as a

BS 6387 circuit integrity fire resistant cable

unless mica tape or circuit integrity

performance is confirmed.

Can this cable be used underground?

It can be used in protected cable ducts

or protected underground routes.

For direct burial or demanding routes,

armoured cable may be required.

What information is required for quotation?

Please confirm voltage rating,

number of cores, conductor size

and cable length.

Installation method, sheath colour,

standard and destination port

are also required.

Can BURYCABLE supply BS 8573

XLPE LSZH power cable?

Yes. BURYCABLE can supply BS 8573

600/1000V XLPE insulated LSZH

sheathed power cables.

We can support different conductor sizes,

core numbers, lengths and packing requirements.
