DEF 61-12 Part 25 (NES525) cables incorporate LFH thin wall insulation and LFH sheath for reduced levels of smoke and corrosive products in the event of a fire. These cables have been widely adopted as the basis for lightweight Limited Fire Hazard (LFH) cables by the MOD (N) and many other Navies worldwide.

The cores in these cables comply with DEF STAN 61-12 Part 18
This range of collectively screened multi pair cables are made from Type 1 pliable type cores.

These cables contain a tinned copper wire braid collective screen to confine the electric field and to limit the external electrical influences

The sheath on these cables complies with DEF STAN 61-12 Part 31

These cables are constructed to be compact and circular able to withstand the normal installation hazards encountered during shipbuilding including reeving in, tight bends, glanding, banding and clipping.

These cables are used for both the ships equipment and systems as well as the weapon equipment and systems. The Nato Stock Number (NSN), nominal conductor area, nominal stranding and the conductor formations for these types of cables are shown in DEF STAN 61-12 Part 25, tables 15 and 16 with additional details given in DEF STAN 61-12 part 18.

Each individual cable has a unique NATO Stock Number (NSN), or National Stock Number as it is known in the United States of America (USA).
