Why Choose the 2184Y 4 Core Flexible Cable?
Superior flexibility: Fine-stranded copper conductors make routing and installation easier, especially in tight spaces or around frequently moved equipment.
Dependable safety: BASEC and HAR approvals provide independent assurance of fire safety, electrical performance, and material durability — critical in domestic and office environments where cables are often close to people and furnishings.
Optimised for light duty: Rated 300/300 V and 6 A, it is perfectly matched to the majority of household and office portable appliances, avoiding over-specification and unnecessary cost.
Clear identification: Standard core colours simplify correct connection and reduce wiring errors during installation or replacement.
Wide temperature tolerance: Performs reliably through South Africa’s variable indoor climate — from cooler winter periods to warmer summer conditions — remaining flexible from -15°C up to a continuous operating temperature of 70°C.
Flexible supply options: Available in standard 50 m and 100 m coils or supplied cut-to-length to your exact requirements, helping reduce waste on smaller jobs.
Installation & Handling Guidelines
Observe the minimum bending radius of 5× overall diameter during installation to avoid damaging conductors and insulation.
Do not exceed the 6 A current capacity or connect to appliances that draw higher continuous load.
Protect from exposure to extreme heat sources, direct sunlight, oil, and harsh chemicals — this cable is designed for dry indoor environments only.
Short-circuit withstand is rated at 160°C — ensure circuit protection is matched to the cable rating.
Always install in accordance with the latest edition of the South African National Wiring Code and local electrical regulations.
