BS8436 Cable

BS8436 Cable

BS8436 protected fixed wiring cable can be used in place of steel wire armoured cables or singles cables in conduit for fixed wiring installations. They can be used for ring main power, lighting, air conditioning and heating systems. Due to being lighter and smaller than armoured cables, these cables can offer savings on installation time and costs.

Applications: BS8436 cable is commonly used for ring main power, lighting, air conditioning, and heating systems.

Protection: The cable's aluminum tube screen provides protection against mechanical damage and electrical interference.

Installation: It can be installed in walls, partitions, and building voids where cables might be vulnerable to damage from nails or screws, especially at depths less than 50mm.

Safety Features: It meets the requirements of the 18th Edition of the Wiring Regulations for concealed cables. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) version is particularly suitable for public buildings and areas with essential equipment where fire safety is a concern.
