RR PVC Flexible Cable 2.5mm² 4-Core
The RR PVC Flexible Cable 2.5mm² 4-Core is a four-wire flexible cable for three-phase equipment connections without neutral, single-phase connections with earth and switching conductor, or any application requiring four independently insulated cores in one flexible cable. Sold per metre for UAE industrial, commercial, and contractor projects.
Key Features
- 2.5mm² fine-stranded 4-core for multi-circuit flexible connections
- Suitable for three-phase or complex single-phase equipment leads
- PVC insulation and sheath for robust performance

FAQ
-
What does the 2.5mm² cross-section rating mean, and is it right for my load?
2.5mm² is the copper conductor's cross-sectional area, giving this cable a current capacity suited to moderate three-phase or multi-circuit loads. For larger industrial motors, a larger cross-section (e.g. our 10mm² 5-core) may be needed — check the equipment's rated current or ask an electrician if unsure.
-
Can I order an exact length, and how is the price calculated?
Yes — sold per metre at a fixed per-metre rate, so you pay only for the length required. No roll minimum, and full coils are available for larger project orders.
-
Why 4 cores instead of 3 or 5?
Four cores suit applications needing one more conductor than a standard 3-core cable but without a full 5-core three-phase-plus-neutral-plus-earth setup — for example, three-phase supply without neutral, or single-phase supply with earth plus a separate switching/control conductor. Confirm the exact core function required for your equipment before wiring.
-
What's the difference between this and RR Kabel's single-core Building Wire?
Building Wire is a solid single conductor for fixed installation in conduit. This 4-core PVC Flexible Cable is fine-stranded for genuine flexibility, built to connect portable or semi-fixed equipment rather than permanent building circuits.
-
Does this need to be installed by an electrician?
Yes — connections for three-phase or multi-circuit equipment should be made by a licensed electrician or qualified panel/electrical engineer per UAE wiring regulations. This is a trade/contractor-supply product, not intended for DIY use.
