BS7835 Cable selection
We supply a comprehensive range of Medium Voltage (MV) cables, including Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) thermoplastic oversheathed cables manufactured in accordance with British Standard BS 7835. These cables are designed to have improved fire performance when installed in air. They are also suitable for direct burial installation in free draining soil. It is recommended for the user to seek advice from the supplier for applications requiring installation in any other environment.
