Industrial Cables Single Core Fixed Wiring Cable
6491B to BS 7211
Application and Description
6491B to BS 7211 cables are designed for fixed wiring purposes in domestic and industrial power/lighting
applications.6491B to BS 7211 cables can be used in trunking or conduit, or may be surface mounted when used for
earthing. and they are generally in areas (such as public and government buildings) where smoke and
toxic fumes may cause a threat to life and equipment. 6491B to BS 7211 cables produce no corrosive gasses when
burnt and which is particularly important where electronic equipment is installed. 6491B is equivalent to
harmonized code H05Z-U/ H07Z-U/H07Z-R.
