Application and Description

6181B, 6182B, 6183B, 6184B and 6185B

cables to BS7211 are designed for fixed

wiring, lighting and low voltage power

applications.


They are suitable for domestic,

commercial and industrial building

installations.


Typical applications include lighting

circuits, power circuits, distribution

boards, control panels, conduit systems

and trunking systems.


These cables are commonly used in public

buildings, schools, hospitals, airports,

offices, data centres and transport

facilities where low smoke zero halogen

performance is required.


The thermosetting insulation provides

reliable electrical performance and

thermal stability.


The LSOH / LSZH sheath helps reduce smoke

emission and corrosive gas release

in the event of fire.


6181B is commonly used for single core

fixed wiring applications.


6182B, 6183B, 6184B and 6185B are used

where two core, three core, four core

or five core cable construction is required.


These cables should be installed in

conduit, trunking, cable tray or other

protected wiring systems where mechanical

protection is required.


The cable should be selected according to

voltage rating, number of cores,

conductor size, sheath colour,

installation method and project specification.

Technical Characteristics

  • - Working voltage: 450/750v

FAQ


What are 6181B, 6182B, 6183B, 6184B and 6185B cables used for?


They are used for fixed wiring,

lighting and low voltage power circuits

in buildings.


They are suitable for domestic,

commercial and industrial installations.



What standard do these cables follow?


These cables are designed according

to BS7211 requirements.



Are these cables LSZH?


Yes. These cables use an LSOH / LSZH

outer sheath to help reduce smoke emission

and corrosive gas release in the event of fire.



Are these cables armoured?


No. These are unarmoured fixed wiring

cables.


Where mechanical protection is required,

they should be installed in conduit,

trunking, cable tray or other protected

wiring systems.



What is the difference between 6181B and 6185B?


The main difference is the number of cores.


6181B is normally a single core cable,

while 6185B is normally a five core cable.



Where are these cables commonly installed?


They are commonly installed in buildings,

public facilities, schools, hospitals,

airports, offices, data centres and

transport systems.



What information is required for quotation?


Please confirm cable type, voltage rating,

number of cores, conductor size, cable length,

sheath colour, installation method and

required standard.


Destination port or delivery address

is also required.



Can BURYCABLE supply 6181B to 6185B cable?


Yes. BURYCABLE can supply 6181B,

6182B, 6183B, 6184B and 6185B LSZH

cables according to project voltage,
