BS6724 LSZH armoured power cable is used for fixed low voltage power and control circuits.
It is suitable for commercial buildings, public facilities, infrastructure projects and data centres.
It can also be used for transport systems, industrial plants and EV charging infrastructure.
The cable is designed for installations requiring low smoke zero halogen performance.
It also provides flame retardant performance and mechanical armour protection.
For single core AC systems, aluminium wire armour is commonly used to reduce magnetic losses.
For multi-core cables, galvanized steel wire armour provides mechanical protection.
