BS6883 Cable

BS6883 cable is primarily used for fixed wiring installations in ships, offshore platforms, and other marine environments. It's designed to withstand harsh conditions and is often found in critical systems like emergency lighting, control systems, and fire alarms. These cables are chosen for their ability to maintain circuit integrity and minimize smoke and toxic gas emissions during a fire, protecting both personnel and sensitive equipment. These cables feature LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheaths, designed to reduce smoke and gas emissions in the event of a fire on board a vessel or platform at sea.

Offshore and Marine Environments: BS6883 cables are specifically designed for the challenging environments and conditions found in ships, oil rigs, and other offshore installations.
Critical Systems: BS6883 cables are used in safety-critical systems like emergency lighting, shutdown systems, control systems, fire pumps, and alarm systems.
Fire Safety: BS6883 cables are flame-retardant and have low-smoke properties this is crucial in environments where fire and smoke can pose significant risks to personnel and equipment.
Protection from Harmful Gases: These cables are also designed to minimize the emission of acid-forming gases during a fire, further protecting sensitive electronic equipment.
