BS5308 Part 1 / Type 1 (unarmoured cables)
BS5308 Cable Part 1 Type 2 MG-XLPE-IS-OS-SWA-LSOH
Application
The armoured fire resistant versions (Part 1Type 2) are typically used in chemical and process industries where there is danger of fire. The galvanised steel wire armour provides excellent protection.
