NCI XLPE/LSZH Copper Cable – Armoured (AWA/SWA) | BS 6724
NCI XLPE/LSZH copper armoured cable BS 6724, 0.6/1kV. AWA & SWA, 1–5 core, 1.5–1000mm². BASEC & ESMA certified. Ideal for UAE fire-safe projects. Aswan Elect.
NCI XLPE Insulated, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Sheathed Copper Armoured Cables to BS 6724 at 0.6/1 kV represent the premium fire-safe cable range from National Cables Industry, Sharjah UAE. These cables carry both ESMA Emirates Quality Mark and BASEC Product Certification — NCI’s BASEC marking licence specifically covers 1-core and 4-core 0.6/1kV cables per BS 5467 & BS 6724 — making them the highest certified cables in the NCI LV range.
The BS 6724 designation specifically identifies these as Low Smoke, Zero Halogen (LSZH) sheathed armoured cables designed for installation in public buildings, transportation infrastructure, hospitals, high-rise towers, tunnels, and any space where smoke toxicity and corrosive gas generation in a fire scenario must be minimised.
Available in 1-core (50–1000mm²) with Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA), and 2-core, 3-core, 4-core, and 5-core (1.5–70mm²) with Steel Wire Armour (SWA), this range covers all major power distribution requirements. The XLPE insulation ensures a 90°C rated operating temperature and excellent long-term electrical performance.
