BS 7211 Cables

H05Z-U/H07Z-U

BS 7211 cables are designed for the internal wiring of switchboards and distributor boards with an alternating

nominal voltage up to 1000 Volts or a direct voltage up to 750 volts. Generally install in pipes or ducts and

internal wiring of appliances with maximum operating temperature of 90º C, and generally in areas (such as

public and government buildings) where smoke and toxic fumes may cause a threat to life and equipment. The

cables produce no corrosive gasses when burnt which is particularly important where electronic equipment is

installed.
