Why Choose the Eland Cables Tri-Rated 16mm² Brown Cable?

The Eland Cables Tri-Rated 16mm² Brown Cable (TRIRATE16BRNM) is a heavy-duty panel wiring cable designed for industrial control systems, switchgear, and electrical installations requiring high current capacity and reliable performance.

Manufactured with a flexible Class 5 plain annealed copper conductor and insulated using heat-resistant PVC, this cable provides excellent electrical conductivity and flexibility, making it ideal for routing within control panels and electrical enclosures.

With a 16mm² conductor size, this cable is suitable for high-load power circuits and distribution applications. The brown insulation is typically used to identify live conductors in modern electrical wiring systems. It complies with BS6231, UL758 and CSA standards, enabling use across UK and international installations.
