318A / BS 6004 Arctic Grade Wire Stranded Conductor Blue Brown Green Yellow
APPLICATION
Arctic grade PVC cords manufactured to BS 6004 are designed to withstand severe external temperatures and will remain flexible at temperatures down to -40°C. Making them particularly suitable for outdoor applications and for use where flexibility is required at sub zero temperatures. At normal temperatures the cable is very flexible, offering some of the characteristics usually found in elastomeric cables.
CONSTRUCTION
Conductor
Class 5 flexible copper conductor according to BS EN 60228 (previously BS 6360)
Insulation
Arctic grade PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Type TI4 according to BS EN 50363
Sheath
Arctic grade PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Type 10 according to BS 7655
CABLE STANDARDS
BS 6004 (previously BS 7919 Table 44), BS EN/IEC 60332-1-2
The electrical and dimensional properties of this product are measured by the Technical and Quality Assurance department at the Sunwin Cables laboratory.
Cable performance in respect of conductor resistance, construction quality (workmanship), dimensional consistency, and other parameters are verified to published standardsand approved product drawings. Conformance to RoHS (Restriction of the use ofHazardous Substances) is determined and confirmed.
