RS PRO 5 Core Power Cable 16mm² 90 °C Cross Linked Polyethylene 1000V, 600V 185-4012

RS PRO 185-4012 5 Core Power Cable 16mm² 90 °C Cross Linked Polyethylene is a premium steel wire armoured (SWA) cable designed for demanding electrical applications requiring exceptional durability and insulation quality.

The galvanised steel wire armour provides optimum mechanical protection against impact and pinching damage, making these cables suitable for use indoors, outdoors, and in buried underground installations. The thermosetting cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation ensures excellent dielectric strength and corrosion resistance, supporting reliable electrical performance even at elevated operating temperatures up to 90 °C. A PVC bedding and sheath surround the armour, enhancing the cable’s resistance to environmental stressors and enabling use in a wide range of industrial and commercial environments.

The copper conductor consists of stranded wires (7 strands each 1.70 mm in diameter), ensuring improved conductivity and flexibility compared to solid conductors. The cable supports voltage ratings of 1000V and 600V, making it versatile for power distribution networks, construction projects, and railway power supply systems. The cable outside diameter is 26.3 mm, facilitating standard fittings for power distribution setups.

Designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom, this RS PRO cable complies with BS EN 60228 standards, guaranteeing adherence to rigorous quality and performance requirements.

This steel wire armoured cable is ideally suited for underground power systems, heavy-duty power networks, construction sites, rail infrastructure, and other industrial applications where mechanical durability and reliable power transmission are critical.
