BS 7211 Cables


6241B/6242B/ 6243B, LSOH Flat Wiring Cables with circuit protective conductor

Application and Description

These cables are suitable for fixed installation particularly for situations in which low emission smoke and

domestic wiring cable for the surface wiring of sockets and lighting where fire, smoke emission and toxic fumes

create a potential threat to life and equipment. Can be installed in fixed installations in dry or damp premises on

walls, boards or trays, in channels or embedded in plaster. Suitable for laying in conduit or trunking where

mechanical protection is required

Cable Construction

6241B/6242B/ 6243B, LSOH Flat Wiring Cables with circuit protective conductor

Fine bare copper strands

Strands to IEC 60228 Cl-1 or 2
