Industrial Cables Multi-Core Flexible Cables

318B to BS 6500

 

 

 

Application and Description:

318B to BS 6500 cables may be used as an indoor general wiring cable primarily for installations in public areas. Examples include use on pendant lighting drops or as a general supply lead within hospital or airport projects. They are suitable for installations where fire, smoke emission and toxic fumes create a potential threat to life and equipment. 318B is equivalent to harmonized code H05Z1Z1-F.

Cable Construction:

Fine bare copper strands

Stranding to BS 6360 Class 5 or IEC 60228 Class 5

Halogen-fee thermoplastic TI6 core insulation

Green/Yellow grounding (3 conductors and above)

Halogen-fee thermoplastic TM7 outer jacket
