Why Choose This Multicore Cable?
This 18 core unscreened control cable features tinned copper conductors, which offer excellent resistance to corrosion and make soldering or crimping incredibly efficient. The unshielded design allows for a more flexible outer diameter. This makes it significantly easier to pull through tight conduits, trunking, or complex structural voids compared to heavily armoured alternatives.
Furthermore, the CPR Euroclass Eca fire rating ensures that this cable meets all modern safety standards for permanent installation within commercial and civil engineering structures.
