Industrial Cables Single Core Fixed Wiring Cable

6181B to BS 7889

Application and Description

6181B to BS 7889e cables are designed for fixed wiring purposes in domestic and industrial power/lighting applications. They can be installed in trunking or conduit, or may be surface mounted when used for earthing. 6181B to BS 7889 cables are suitable for use in areas (such as public and government buildings) where smoke and toxic fumes may cause a threat to life and equipment. When mechanical protection is required, they can be embedded in concrete.
