2182Y 2-Core Round Flexible Cable | Fine-Stranded Copper | 300/300V | BS EN 50525-2-11 | BASEC Approved
Overview
The 2182Y 2 Core Round Flexible Cable is a reliable, light-duty electrical cable engineered for safe, efficient power connection in domestic, commercial, and light-industrial environments across South Africa. Manufactured to the rigorous BS EN 50525-2-11 standard and certified by BASEC, alongside HAR, CE marking and ISO 9001 quality assurance, this cable delivers consistent performance you can trust—ideal for engineers, technical procurement specialists, and installers seeking compliance and durability in everyday wiring applications.
Built with high-quality fine-stranded copper conductors, the cable offers superior flexibility, making it easy to route, install, and terminate, even in tight spaces or where slight movement may occur. It is rated at 300/300 V, with an operating temperature range of -15°C to +70°C and a short-circuit temperature rating of 160°C, providing reliable performance under typical South African indoor conditions, from coastal regions to inland towns.
Key Features & Construction
Conductor Material: Fine-stranded copper – ensures excellent conductivity, low resistance, and high flexibility for easy handling and installation.
Configuration: 2-core round design – compact, balanced, and suitable for general-purpose low-power wiring.
Voltage Rating: 300/300 V – perfect for light-duty, low-voltage portable and fixed wiring applications.
Temperature Performance: Operates reliably from -15°C up to 70°C; short-circuit withstand of 160°C supports safe overload conditions.
Flexibility: Minimum bending radius of just 5× overall diameter, ideal for installation in confined spaces, furniture, and equipment.
Compliance & Certification: Fully BASEC Approved, HAR recognised, CE marked, and manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management. Meets BS EN 50525-2-11, ensuring full alignment with standards widely accepted in South African procurement and building projects.
