The BS 4808 electrical cable is a single-core tinned copper conductor with PVC insulation, designed according to British standards to ensure reliability, safety, and consistent performance. It is available in various cross-sections, from the thinnest, dedicated to electronics and instrumentation, to larger sizes suitable for more demanding wiring. The tinned copper construction provides high resistance to corrosion and simplifies soldering operations, while the PVC insulation guarantees mechanical protection, flexibility, and resistance to moisture and chemical agents.
Thanks to these features, the BS 4808 cable is used in numerous sectors: internal wiring of electronic equipment, signaling and telecommunications systems, control panels, and industrial automation, as well as in the automotive and light aerospace industries. Its versatility makes it ideal for installations requiring organization, ease of laying, and long-term durability.
The cable is available in multiple colors, allowing quick identification of circuits during installation and maintenance, and in different cross-sections to cover various current and voltage requirements. Under standard conditions, it can withstand nominal voltages up to 1000 V AC or 1500 V DC, with a typical operating temperature between -30 °C and +85 °C.
Choosing a BS 4808 cable means relying on a product that is compliant with international standards, flexible, durable, and easy to handle, designed for those who need professional, orderly, and safe wiring.
