- Screening: Unscreened
- Standard: Manufactured to BS4737-3.30:2015 Type 2
- CPR status: Fully compliant with EN50575 'CPR', supporting Construction Products Regulation documentation on commercial fit-outs
- Reel length: 100m

Specification notes
Full copper conductors (not copper-clad steel) keep resistance low and signal integrity consistent over longer cable runs — relevant on multi-zone panels or where the run length pushes toward the panel's max loop resistance.
Being unscreened, this cable suits standard alarm signalling and power runs where EMI is not a concern; where screening is needed for a run near mains or other interference sources, a screened equivalent should be specified instead.
The LSF jacket makes this reel appropriate for installations with LSF/low-smoke cabling requirements — commonly specified in commercial, public-access or fire-strategy-sensitive buildings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable screened?
No, this CAB8/WH/LSF/100M reel is unscreened — for runs needing EMI protection, a screened alternative should be used instead.
What standard is this cable made to?
It's manufactured to BS4737-3.30:2015 Type 2 and is fully compliant with EN50575 'CPR'.
Are the conductors full copper or copper-clad steel?
Full copper — 7 x 0.182mm tinned copper across 8 cores, which keeps resistance low on longer runs.
What length does this reel come on?
It's supplied as a 100m reel in white with a Low Smoke & Fume (LSF) jacket.
