Fixed wiring cables are the backbone of electrical installations in buildings, designed to be permanently installed in fixed positions—fastened to supports, laid in conduits, or embedded in building structures. Unlike flexible cables used for portable equipment, fixed wiring cables power the essential infrastructure of residential, commercial, and industrial environments: sockets, switches, lighting circuits, distribution boards, and fixed appliances. These cables must comply with the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) for use across Europe, requiring specific fire performance classifications from Aca (highest) to Fca (lowest). The primary choice in fixed wiring is between PVC sheathed cables (economical, general use) and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) cables that provide enhanced safety in fire situations by minimizing toxic smoke and corrosive gases.
