Eland Cables is a leading supplier of SW4 marine industry cable for power, lighting and control applications, manufactured in accordance with British Standard BS6883.

657TQ, 6571TQ, 658TQ Cable Specification

Our Shipboard Type SW4 wiring includes armoured (658TQ) and unarmoured (657TQ) cables designed for fixed wiring installations across all areas onboard ships and offshore units. Applications include accommodation and open deck. It also includes the unarmoured 6571TQ, an unarmoured cable designed to prevent the risk of electric shock in the event of fault or surge.

The cables have a voltage rating of 1000V with a heat and oil resistant, and flame retardant sheathing (HOFR). These cables are all halogen-free to reduce the risk to human life or to sensitive equipment by limiting the emission of smoke, noxious fumes and acid forming gases in the event of a fire.

The cables are designed to operate within a temperature range of -40^oC to +90^oC when flexed.
