Application

Industrial Equipment Connecting Wire - PVC Insulated & Sheathed Flexible Cable | BS/IEC Certified | Weather & Flame Retardant

This series of multi-core PVC insulated and sheathed cables is specifically designed for industrial equipment connections. Featuring fine-stranded bare copper conductors (complying with BS 6360 CL-5 / IEC 60228 CL-5) and a dual-layer PVC protective construction (TI2/TM2 grade, certified to BS 7655), it offers excellent mechanical protection and electrical performance. With a 300V rated voltage and passing a 2000V withstand voltage test, it is suited for power connections and control signal transmission in instrumentation, automation equipment, and light machinery.
