Defence Standard Cable | Def Stan Cable 61-12

We supply a range of power network cables for utilities grid providers (including DNO-approved cables) and local power distribution systems cabling for the Building & Construction industry.              

Our cables are manufactured in accordance with a number of British, European and International standards including BS7870 and IEC60502.

Eland Cables’ range of Copper (Cu) and Aluminium (Al) Concentric and Split Concentric cables to BS7870 and 11kV and 33kV cables specifically designed and approved for use on the areas of the UK national grid maintained and operated by UKPN, SSE, WPD, NPG, ENW and SPEN. These DNOs to provide the final connection to residential, commercial and industrial properties. Local network distribution cables are also used for sub-main distribution and for street lighting. These are available with oversheathing in Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) or Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). Low Voltage Waveform cables are also available for each of the UK DNOs.

Overhead Line wires, whether bare conductors or insulated cables, provide an aerial route for the transmission and distribution of power.                

Overhead lines, sometimes referred to as Aerial conductors, are often specified where there is significant distances to cover and where these cables are best positioned far out of reach. The distances to cover, the environmental conditions it will face, and the location are all factors in specifying the appropriate cable.

Control cables encompass a large family of cables for measurement and modulation applications, manufactured to various British, European and international Standards.  

These include the widely used CY cable, SY cable, YY cable, and LiYCY & LiYY cables designed for a wide range of industrial process automation applications, including signal transmission, measurement, control and regulation. These control cables are often referred to by the application, such as machinery supply cable, motor cable and robotics cable. They are also known as multi-core cables, control flex and control flexible cables.

Depending on their construction properties, these flexible cables can be suitable for use under light, medium or high mechanical stresses. They also offer various degrees of protection against electrical interference and resistance to caustic substances and oils.
