Industrial Cables Multi-Core Flexible Cables

6241B/6242B/ 6243B to BS 7211

Application and Description

6241B/6242B/ 6243B to BS 7211 cables are suitable for fixed installation particularly for situations in which low

emission smoke and domestic wiring cable for the surface wiring of sockets and lighting where fire, smoke

emission and toxic fumes create a potential threat to life and equipment. Can be installed in fixed installations in

dry or damp premises on walls, boards or trays, in channels or embedded in plaster. Suitable for laying in

conduit or trunking where mechanical protection is required.

Cable Construction

Fine bare copper strands

Stranding to IEC 60228 Class 1 or 2

Thermosetting core insulation type EI5 or GP 8

The core or cores shall be laid parallel with the uninsulated circuit protective conductor

For twin cores, the protective conductor centrally placed between cores in same plane

For 3 cores, the protective conductor centrally placed between black and grey cores in same plane

LSOH sheath, type LTS 2, white
