Low smoke cable

[rocker]

What is low smoke zero halogen cable like to work with? I worked with some supplied white sheathed cable once which was a nightmare, really tough sheath and hard to run, and I think this may have been LS0H, does this sound about right? Just that I can get some of it for less than I can get standard twin at the moment.

If i can remember right it is a pig to strip.

your not wrong there. i did full domestic re wires with that stuff as it was council spec

if it's cheap, buy it and suffer the harder work

yep, nightmare to use and IMO pointless if you're running it in pvc containment anyway.

Hmmm yep sounds like the stuff I used. Total nightmare to work with.

It ain't THAT much cheaper, I think I'll give it a miss. Thanks all.

It's not that bad when you get used to it, I prefer pulling the LS0H to the normal grey T+E that stuff seems to burn to easy when pulling it through with other cables...

They both have there advantages though.
