318A to BS 6004(Formerly BS 7919)

Application and Description

318A to BS 6004(Formerly BS 7919) cables are designed to withstand severe external temperatures and will

remain flexible at temperatures down to -40°C. Making them particularly suitable for outdoor applications and

for use where flexibility is required at sub zero temperatures. At normal temperatures the cable is very flexible,

offering some of the characteristics usually found in elastomeric cables.,
