The manufacturing of Prysmian LSX

The manufacture of Prysmian LSX cables is carried out with attention to detail from start to finish, ensuring ultimate reliability for every installation. Every element of the cable, from the copper conductors to the strong LSOH sheathing, is produced to meet the highest quality standards.

Where do I use Prysmian LSX cables?

Prysmian LSX cables are designed for indoor applications and are commonly used for lighting and small power applications in offices, shops, hospitals and light industry. Prysmian LSX is ideally suited to installation in shallow voids because its in-built aluminium electrical safety screen provides instant response if penetrated with a conductive metal object and coupled with Type B circuit breakers. Prysmian LSX is trusted for its safety in the event of fire by producing no thick black smoke, no acid gases and reducing the spread of flame when compared to PVC cables.  Prysmian LSX has a 360 degree screen that helps reduce the effects of radio and electro-magnetic interference (RFI & EMI).
