Leigh Cables manufactures both armoured and unarmoured industrial power cables in a wide range of configurations from single core to multicores in accordance with various standards and specifications including IEC 60502, BS 6346, BS 5467, BS 6724, BS 7846, BS 6231 and many more.

Our power cables are constructed around annealed copper conductors to IEC/EN 60228 Solid Class 1, Stranded Class 2, Flexible Class 5 and Super Flexible Class 6. We also manufacture single core power cables with aluminium stranded conductors.

Leigh Cables are manufacturers of industrial data bus cables in the form of Fieldbus, Profibus, Modbus, DeviceNet and RS-485 cables.

Single or multi-pair Foundation Fieldbus Type A cables are commonly offered in 14 AWG, 16 AWG, 18 AWG and 22 AWG (American Wire Gauge) conductors. Jacket materials are tailored to suit installation environments and other customer requirements such as the need for Water, Oil, UV, Chemical Resistance, Flexibility or suitability for harsh or extreme temperatures. Our BUS Cables are offered in armoured and non-armoured versions with shielding options to meet performance requirements.

Profibus cables are offered as types PA and DP for fast-connect-type systems. Typically the cables are single pair with 18 or 22 American Wire Guage size conductors. Leigh cables offer both armoured and non-armoured versions with the choice of cable jackets driven by customer requirements to suit installation environments.

Leigh Cables offer category cables in both armoured and non-armoured versions. The category cables are offered as Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a and Cat7. These classifications vary in the levels of performance, typically offering different frequency ratings, screening arrangement and conductors. The category cables are offered with solid or stranded conductors and the type of shielding mean they can be:

U/UTP – Foil shielded cable, unshielded twisted pairs
F/UTP – Foil shielded cable, unshielded twisted pairs
F/FTP – Foil shielded cable, shielded twisted pairs
U/FTP – Unshielded cable, foil shielded twisted pairs
S/FTP – braided shielded cable, foil shielded twisted pairs

We offer enhanced category cables featuring steel armouring, water-blocking tapes, fire resistant tapes, water tolerant jackets, low and high temperature jackets, and jackets suitable for tough environments.

At Leigh Cables we manufacture single core cathodic protection cables typically constructed using 6mm² to 120mm² conductors. Cathodic Protection Cables are usually rated 600/1000V and designed generally to the IEC 60502-1 specification and customer requirement.

The most common designs offer insulation in HMWPE (High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) and PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) materials. Other designs are available using XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) and PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) compounds. The insulation and sheathing material choice is influenced by the intended installation environment.

Although common designs are non-armoured, Leigh Cables can offer armoured versions of Cathodic Protection cables to suit customer requirements.

Leigh Cables offer enhanced fibre cables suitable for the more demanding environments and applications.

We offer a range of single mode and multimode fibres in common configurations such as 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 96 cores in both armoured and unarmoured variants. These typically take the form of 62.5/125 µm OM1 fibres, 50/125 µm OM3 fibres, 50/125 µm OM4 Fibres or 9/125 µm OS2 fibres to TIA/ITU Standards such as G.651.1 and G.652.D.

Further performance enhancements offer additional fire resistance, flame retardance, water resistance or other protection to suit marine and industrial applications in tough environments.

Leigh Cables offer highly flexible cables to suit different customer requirements. These cables are designed with Flexible Class 5 and Super Flexible 6 conductors. Insulating and sheathing materials are typically ethylene propylene rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, thermoplastic vulcanizates, Polyurethane, flexible PVC and LSZH grades.

Single core HYFLEX cables are offered to meet voltage requirements from 0.6/1.0kV to 6.35/11kV. Leigh Cables also offer other HYFLEX configurations including multi-cores, pairs, triples, quads and hybrid cables with various voltage rating options typically up to 0.6/1.0kV.

Zyrad™ cables feature an especially robust insulation or jacket material which is crosslinked via electron beam, as opposed to regular chemical crosslinking. The irradiation cross-linked Zyrad™ cables have excellent characteristics such as temperature resistance, mechanical damage and abrasion resistance, as well as being flame retardant.

Zyrad™ cables are manufactured using premium smooth unilay Class 5 Tinned Copper conductors to aid flexibility and overall size, and cores can be twisted together to form multicore cables to meet customer requirements.

Our Zyrad™ 500 cables for example, are the perfect choice for Electric Motors, Generators, Transformers, Induction Loops, Automotive and Domestic Appliances. Zyrad™ 500 is fully certified to meet the requirements of UL AWM 3288 & 3289 standards.

Leigh Cables are manufacturers of industrial cables suitable for marine and offshore applications. The cables are typically power, signal, communication, control and instrumentation type cables for offshore platforms, shipboard wiring, and other at-sea installations such as oil drilling and production.

Our marine grade cables are manufactured to various British, European, International, and Industry standards which include BS6883, BS7917, IEC60092-376, and NEK606 (Norwegian Standard). Typically, the cables are halogen free, flame retardant, oil, water, and fire resistant.
