Telephone Cables

There is a growing need for telephone cables which are able to function in a variety of environments and installations. FS Cables hold large stocks of BT styles and other popular types in a range of screening, armouring and insulation options.

The screened and armoured CW1128/1179/1198 range is ideal for external connections of telephone systems and other communications equipment and is available in either 0.5mm or 0.9mm, and in 5, 10, 20, 30, 50 or 100 pair configurations. The aluminium screen offers high levels of EMI protection, while the armour makes it suitable for direct burial or exposed installations. It also benefits from a petroleum jelly filling to prevent the ingress of moisture.

We also offer a non-screened armoured version of the CW1128/1198 for installations where mechanical damage could occur, or simply an external version for outdoor installations where armouring is not necessary. This is a lightweight yet durable solution for cables that have to withstand a variety of weather conditions due to its tough, UV and sunlight resistant polyethylene sheath.

For installations where the safety of people or property is critical we offer Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) versions of CW1308 (PVC also available), CW1044 Functional Earth, and the CW1600 Limited Fire Hazard. The latter features the added protection of a fire barrier tape on cables with more than 6 pairs.

In addition, we can also supply telephone line cordage and dropwire directly from stock. The CW1311 type flat line cordage is available in either 4 core or 6 core options and offers flexibility and durability while being easily stripped and terminated. BT style dropwire to CW1411 (2 pair) and CW1417 (4 pair) feature steel strainer wires to provide self-support when linked from pole to building or building to building and are available on standard 350m reels.
