Why Choose the Eland Cables Tri-Rated 4mm² Red Cable?
The Eland Cables Tri-Rated 4mm² Red Cable (TRIRATE4RED) is a high-capacity panel wiring cable designed for industrial control systems, switchgear, and electrical installations requiring reliable performance and clear conductor identification.
Manufactured with a flexible Class 5 plain annealed copper conductor and insulated using heat-resistant PVC, this cable ensures excellent electrical performance in demanding environments while maintaining flexibility for installation within control panels and enclosures.
With a 4mm² conductor size, this cable supports higher current loads, making it suitable for power distribution and control circuits. The red insulation is commonly used for control circuits, signalling, or legacy live conductor identification. It complies with BS6231, UL758 and CSA standards, ensuring suitability for both UK and international applications.
