Multi-Core Flexible Cables & Cords
Flexible cables for house wiring and appliance flexible cords, manufactured to Saudi and international standards. The conductors comply with SASO IEC 60228 Class 5 (flexible copper). Each conductor is insulated with PVC/D compound; the cores and fillers are twisted together, and for two-core circular cords the space between cores is filled either by separate fillers or by the sheath filling the interstices. The outer sheath is PVC/ST 5 compound applied around the cores.
- Conductors: 2, 3, 4 or 5 cores — Class 5 flexible copper (SASO IEC 60228).
- PVC/D insulation around each conductor; cores laid up with fillers.
- PVC/ST 5 outer sheath (70°C) — white or as per customer request.
- Full colour range: red, yellow, blue, black, grey, brown, green/yellow.
