BS7835 8.7/15kV LSZH

Our range of Nexans BS7835 8.7/15kV LSZH medium voltage cables is designed for power distribution across data centres, industrial facilities and utility networks where low-smoke, halogen-free cable construction is specified. Featuring XLPE insulation, metallic screening and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer sheath, these cables provide a solution for medium voltage installations requiring electrical performance and defined fire-related material characteristics. Suitable cable variants are available for fixed indoor and outdoor installations, including underground routes and cable ducts.

Key Features of Nexans BS7835 LSZH Cable

  • Rated at 8.7/15kV for medium voltage power distribution applications.
  • Manufactured to BS 7835 for applicable low-smoke, halogen-free cable requirements.
  • XLPE insulation provides electrical insulation for medium voltage networks.
  • LSZH outer sheath helps reduce smoke emissions and corrosive halogen gas release during a fire.
  • Flame-retardant properties help restrict flame propagation under the applicable test conditions.
  • Metallic screening forms part of the cable construction for medium voltage electrical applications.
  • Available in specified armoured configurations, including Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) for single-core cable variants.
  • Suitable for designated installations in data centres, industrial facilities, utility networks and infrastructure projects.

When specifying Nexans 8.7/15kV LSZH cable, consider the required conductor size, electrical loading, fault levels, installation method and mechanical protection. The selected cable must also meet the project's fire performance and installation requirements, with the individual product datasheet used to verify its exact construction and applicable standards.

In data centre developments, medium voltage cables can support incoming power supplies and site distribution networks feeding transformers and downstream electrical systems. Choosing the appropriate BS7835 cable helps align the installation with the electrical design and the project's specified cable performance requirements.
