APPLICATION

Designed for power and control circuits, the BS6724 cable features a heavy galvanized steel wire armour (GSWA) for exceptional mechanical protection. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, including direct burial in the ground. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) construction significantly reduces smoke, toxic fumes, and corrosive gases in the event of fire, making it ideal for installations where safety of life and sensitive equipment is paramount.
