This Standard specifies the following cable construction:

BS7835 cable can be commonly referred in international markets as MV armoured XLPE/LSZH/SWA/LSZH.

BS7835 Cable selection

We supply a comprehensive range of Medium Voltage (MV) cables, including Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) thermoplastic oversheathed cables manufactured in accordance with British Standard BS 7835. These cables are designed to have improved fire performance when installed in air. They are also suitable for direct burial installation in free draining soil. It is recommended for the user to seek advice from the supplier for applications requiring installation in any other environment. In particular, these cables are not suitable for use as self-supporting aerial cables, as submarine cable or in water-logged conditions, and in environments where there is a risk of mechanical damage or exposure to excessive heat.

Please contact our technical engineers for technical support with the selection of BS 7835 cables and associated cable accessories.
