Flexible cable uses finely stranded copper conductors that allow repeated bending, used for appliances, portable equipment, and connections to moving parts. Insulation is commonly PVC or rubber, with ratings suited to the application. Selection follows the relevant IEC, BS, or EN standards.
| Property | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Conductor | Copper, finely stranded (class 5 flexible) for bending |
| Insulation | PVC or rubber (e.g. EPR); sheathed multi-core types common |
| Voltage rating | Typically 300/300V, 300/500V, or 450/750V depending on type |
| Common sizes | Typically 0.5–6 mm² for appliances and portable use |
| Cores | Typically 2–5 cores, often including earth |
| Temperature rating | Typically 70°C (PVC) or higher for rubber types |
| Standard | IEC 60227, IEC 60245, BS 6500, or equivalent EN standards |
