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.
