Cat 5E, Cat 6, Cat 6A & Cat 7 Cables
Category 5 (CAT 5E), Category 6 (CAT 6 and CAT 6A) and Category 7 (CAT 7) cables are structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet. Their specification cover their construction, performance characteristics and test requirements. Category 7 cables are specified in CENELEC EN 50173:2002 and ISO/IEC 11801:2002 standards for installation cables only, however Category 7 cables are not yet recognised by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA/EIA). Category 7 cables, in addition to the approved Cat 5e, 6 and 6a LAN cables, form part of a wide range of cables used for the transmission of Gigabit Ethernet.

Cable Recycling Service
Our cable recycling facility means we recycle cable waste and legacy power cables including copper and aluminium conductors, and armoured cables, from customer installations, with over 99% of the cable being processed and repurposed once stripped to their component layers. Cable drums, pallets and reels can also be collected, repaired or recycled on behalf of our customers.
Battery Storage Technology Cables
Battery Storage is growing in importance for a number of industries, playing a key role in emerging technologies.
Primarily linked to Renewable energy generation to E-mobility infrastructure installations, battery storage technology and battery energy storage systems (BESS) are helping to strengthen our sustainable energy infrastructure.
Battery energy storage systems support national power network grid optimisation by stabilising and balancing the outflow. It is part of a wider move to smarter and more efficient grid technology. It is not just national power grids that look to BESS - it is increasingly chosen by large scale industrial installations. In many cases, the combination of size and weight reduction alongside capacity increase makes BESS a viable commercial option when set against rising energy demands and increasing grid volatility. The associated green credentials of optimising power usage also support the application.
On a smaller scale, microgeneration battery storage technology (also referred to as Energy storage systems or thermal stores) is allowing home and business owners to control their own energy consumption, combining with solar PV to provide power on demand rather than having to export excess to the grid.
Fixed Wiring Cable
Fixed wiring cables are predominantly used as power supply cables for sockets, switches and light fittings across residential, commercial and industrial environments.
Designed to be installed in a fixed position, fastened to a support or laid in a specific location, as the name suggests they are not suitable for static or dynamic equipment. These cables are commonly used in construction projects, resulting in them being CPR classified under the Construction Products Regulation, for use across Europe.
To suit different installations and design parameters, our fixed wiring cables are generally available with PVC or Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer sheathing, the latter making the cable suitable for where life and equipment needs additional protection in the event of fire.
Our fixed wiring cable range is manufactured in accordance with British and International Standards and many cables in the range hold BASEC certification.
