6193B Twin & Earth LSZH Cable | Solid Copper, 300/500V, IS 201-4, BASEC Approved — Fire-Safe Wiring for Construction & Commercial Projects
Overview
The 6193B Twin & Earth LSZH Cable is a premium, low-smoke zero-halogen domestic and light-commercial wiring solution, engineered for environments where fire safety, reduced smoke emission, and freedom from toxic fumes are critical priorities. Built to strict quality and performance benchmarks, this cable is widely specified for surface-wired socket outlets and lighting circuits — making it ideal for new builds, renovations, public buildings, healthcare facilities, educational campuses, and high-occupancy developments across South Africa and beyond.
Unlike standard PVC-insulated cables, our LSZH formulation releases minimal smoke and no corrosive or halogenated gases when exposed to fire. This is a vital advantage in confined or densely populated spaces: it preserves visibility for safe evacuation, protects sensitive equipment and electrical infrastructure, and eliminates the health risks posed by toxic acid fumes during an emergency. Whether you are designing a residential housing development, a commercial office block, or a public facility where occupant safety takes precedence, the 6193B range delivers dependable performance alongside industry-leading fire protection.

Conductor Sizes & Technical Performance
Every size in the 6193B range uses solid plain copper conductors for stable electrical performance, long-term durability, and ease of termination.
Why Choose 6193B LSZH Twin & Earth Cable?
✅ Superior Fire & Safety Performance
In the event of a fire, ordinary wiring can release thick, blinding smoke and toxic halogen fumes that hamper evacuation and cause lasting harm. The 6193B LSZH insulation and sheath produce negligible smoke and zero halogen gas, helping occupants see exit routes clearly and reducing risk to life, structural steel, and valuable electronics. This aligns perfectly with modern South African building trends and safety regulations — especially in public buildings, hospitals, schools, shopping centres, and residential complexes where fire safety is a top design consideration.
✅ Trusted Quality & Independent Certification
BASEC approval means every batch is rigorously tested for safety, material consistency, and electrical reliability. Backed by CE marking and ISO 9001-certified manufacturing, this cable offers full traceability and assurance — so you can specify it with confidence on any tender or private project. Compliance with IS 201-4 ensures dimensional, electrical, and safety consistency that you can rely on.
✅ Built for South African Conditions
With a continuous operating temperature up to 90°C and tolerance of down to -15°C, this cable performs reliably across South Africa’s varied climate — from hot summers in inland regions to cooler coastal winters. The robust solid copper conductors resist vibration and thermal expansion better than stranded alternatives in fixed surface wiring, ensuring stable connections year after year.
✅ Practical for Installers & Specifiers
Solid conductors hold their shape well during surface installation in conduits, trunking, or direct surface mounting — speeding up work and reducing connection errors. Clear colour-coding and consistent dimensions make on-site identification quick. Available in common reel lengths or custom cut-to-length, you can order exactly what your project needs, reducing waste and cost.
✅ Broad Application Range
Lighting circuits (standard and heavy-duty)
Socket outlet ring mains
Surface-wired power and lighting in residential, commercial, and public buildings
Any installation where fire performance, low smoke, and non-toxic emissions are required by design or regulation
Ordering & Availability
Choose the conductor size to match your circuit design and load requirements:
1.0 mm² — general lighting
1.5 mm² — higher-load or longer-run lighting circuits
2.5 mm² — ring mains and most socket outlet circuits
Supplied in standard lengths or cut-to-length on request, with full certification documentation available for your project files.
Summary: The 6193B Twin & Earth LSZH Cable combines BASEC-approved quality, IS 201-4 compliance, and proven LSZH safety — making it the smart choice for engineers, quantity surveyors, and procurement professionals who specify wiring that protects lives, assets, and reputation. When your project demands the highest safety standards without compromising performance, choose 6193B.
