Fixed Wiring Cable
Fixed wiring cables are predominantly used as power supply cables for sockets, switches and light fittings across residential, commercial and industrial environments.
Designed to be installed in a fixed position, fastened to a support or laid in a specific location, as the name suggests they are not suitable for static or dynamic equipment. These cables are commonly used in construction projects, resulting in them being CPR classified under the Construction Products Regulation, for use across Europe.
To suit different installations and design parameters, our fixed wiring cables are generally available with PVC or Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer sheathing, the latter making the cable suitable for where life and equipment needs additional protection in the event of fire.
Our fixed wiring cable range is manufactured in accordance with British and International Standards and many cables in the range hold BASEC certification.
