Wavecon cable is the typical replacement for paper/lead cables in the LV distribution network.

Wavecon cable is available as "CNE" and also "SNE" - the construction is (usually) aluminium conductors (three for CNE with a fourth for a neutral in the SNE variant). The outer armouring is a copper tape / copper wire armour, providing either just the earth (SNE) or a combined neutral/earth (CNE).

"The cable jointing tools I used to strip down the cable were a depth gauge saw to take the steel tape amours off the imperial paper insulation lead cable. Once the bitumen layers were removed with the gas torch and premane wipes I then used a hammer and insulated hack knife to remove the lead sheath down to the belt papers and the paper cores," comments Daniel.
