Prewired cables provide protection

Low-smoke, prewired conduit cables for partitioned walls and voids will operate 32A type B MCB circuit breakers if penetrated by a sharp object, letting an electrical circuit fail safe.

Nexans has added NXS screened, low-smoke, prewired conduit cables to its Alsecure NX range of fire-resistant building cables.

Alsecure NXS cables are for partitioned walls and voids, and will operate 32A type B MCB circuit breakers if penetrated by a sharp object, providing the ability for an electrical circuit to fail safe.

Alsecure NXS cables provide their own containment, so there is no need for conduit or SWA cables.

They are for installation indoors and outside, in cable trays and baskets, in roof spaces and ductwork, directly on brick, stone, metal and other materials, behind plaster and as part of modular wiring systems.

They are halogen-free and flame retardant, with low smoke emission, and can protect people and property from the emission of toxic gases and deadly fumes in the event of a fire.

Nexans makes the cables to BS8436: 600/1000V.

They can be used for applications across domestic and industrial buildings including ring main power, lighting, air conditioning and ventilation systems, outside lighting circuits and signage supplies.

Bonded aluminium tape provides the cables with mechanical resistance and screening from electrical interference.

Attention has been paid to making them easy to install, and they are smaller and up to 60% lighter than traditional small armoured cables.

There are no extra tapes to remove, and they are easy to strip and retain their memory.

There is a choice of conductor sizes for use with AC and DC voltages of 300/500V.
