Draka Saffire BS6724 SWA Armoured Zero Halogen Low Smoke Cables

Draka Saffire BS6724 SWA Armoured Zero Halogen Low Smoke Cables

Low Smoke Zero Halogen Cables

Draka Saffire BS6724

Prysmian Draka Saffire BS6724 SWA is a zero halogen, low smoke armoured power cable for industrial wiring and mains distribution where thick black smoke and acid emission would pose a major hazard during a fire.

Saffire BS6724 SWA cables are LU approved and are designed for use in public areas and can be installed within cable ducts, clipped directly to a surface, on trays, in baskets or free air. Additionally, the cables can be laid direct in ground in free draining soil and embedded in concrete.
