Prysmian has expanded its Afumex LSX range to include Three Core
6mm² and Four Core 6mm². The range is designed for power and
lighting circuits where a screened, low smoke, halogen free and
reduced flame propagation cable is required.
Developed and manufactured by Prysmian near Southampton for over
twenty years, the ever popular Afumex LSX cable continues to be the
choice of installers, designers and clients.
Afumex LSX meets all the requirements of the 17th edition Wiring
Regulations for installation in thin walls and partitions and can be
used on rack, ladder or tray where traditionally a bulky armoured
cable would be installed. Considerable cost-savings can often be
made using Afumex LSX as it is smaller and lighter than armoured
cables meaning fixings and supports can also be smaller.
Manufactured with Prysmian’s Earthshield safety screen technology,
Afumex LSX is additionally tested for 600/1000 V rating by BASEC. It
combines a longitudinal aluminium tape screen bonded to the outer
sheath in contact with a full size CPC (circuit protective
conductor) to achieve the necessary earthable layer.
The dressable construction offers a rigidity and ease of bending
which keeps its shape during installation and no ‘springback’. The
cable is also easy to strip, significantly reducing the first and
second fix termination times when compared with steel wire armoured
cable.
As part of Prysmian’s Low Fire-Hazard range, Afumex LSX provides
excellent resistance to ignition and flame spread, producing very
low levels of smoke and virtually no acidic gases when burnt,
safeguarding human life and protecting buildings and equipment.
