Product overview

This cable combines a three-core power cable and a four-pair CAT5e data cable for electric vehicle charge points. The power cores are Class 2 stranded copper with XLPE insulation, wrapped in PET tape, with PVC bedding and a PVC sheath; the CAT5e pairs have PVC insulation, an aluminium tape screen with drain wire and an LSZH sheath. The rating is 600-1000V with a 4kV test voltage.

One pull delivers the supply and a wired data link to the charger, so the installer does not need a second cable or a separate route for communication. Without armour it is a compact choice for protected internal routes: 14 mm overall diameter with 3 × 4 mm² power cores and 15 mm with 3 × 6 mm².

Application & Features

Most charge points installed today are networked: they report energy use, accept remote start and stop commands and share the available supply with other chargers on the same site. A wired data link is more dependable than wireless signal in basements, car parks and metal-clad buildings, and running it in the same cable as the supply means one route, one set of fixings and no risk of the data link being left out.

The cable is unarmoured, so it suits internal routes where the building or the containment provides the mechanical protection: trunking, conduit, tray and walls inside garages, car parks and workplaces. Terminate the data screen and drain wire as the charger instructions require and keep to the 8 × overall diameter bend radius at entries. For external walls and burial, use the armoured SWA version with CAT5e data.

  • Monitoring and communicationScreened CAT5e data follows the power route for charger monitoring and network connections.
  • Protected internal routesUnarmoured construction where the project provides the required mechanical protection.
  • Two power sizes3 × 4 mm² or 3 × 6 mm² power cores to match the charger current and route length.

Construction

The cable places the power circuit and the data circuit side by side in one product, each with its own screen and sheath. There is no armour; mechanical protection comes from the route.

  • Power conductors: Class 2 stranded copper, 4 mm² or 6 mm², three cores coloured brown, blue and green/yellow.
  • Power insulation and screen: XLPE insulation, with PET tape wrapping around the power cores.
  • Power bedding and sheath: PVC bedding and PVC sheath over the power cable.
  • Data pairs: Four-pair CAT5e with PVC insulation; pairs blue, orange, green and brown, each with white.
  • Data screen: Aluminium tape with drain wire to keep the data signal clear of the power circuit.
  • Data sheath: LSZH sheath on the CAT5e cable.

FAQ

Why combine power and CAT5e data in one cable?

Networked charge points need a supply and a data link. One combined cable means one route, one set of fixings and one entry into the charger, and a wired link is more reliable than wireless signal in car parks and basements.

Should I choose 4mm² or 6mm²?

Both versions share the same construction. The choice depends on the charger current, the route length (voltage drop) and the installation method. Send the charger rating and route length and our engineers confirm the size.

Is there an armoured or LSZH version?

Yes. For external walls and burial use the armoured SWA version with CAT5e data. Where LSZH sheaths and a screened Cat6A data element are specified, see the Cat6A LSZH power and data cable.

How should the data screen be terminated?

Connect the drain wire of the aluminium tape screen as the charger or data equipment instructions require and keep the screen continuous along the run. Our engineers can confirm the bonding arrangement for your installation.

What should I send for a quotation?

Send the power size (4 mm² or 6 mm²), quantity and cut lengths, the installation route, the charger type and any CPR class, marking or inspection documents your project requires.

Quality Assurance

Testing at every stage in our own workshop and laboratory, from incoming copper to the packed drum.

Bare copper wire bobbins inspected before stranding at the TEBAOFLEX factory

Raw Material Inspection

Every batch of copper rod, rubber compound and reinforcing material is checked before it reaches the line.

  • Copper: conductor resistance, elongation and surface condition on incoming rod and drawn wire
  • EPR, CPE, PUR and silicone compounds: hardness, tensile strength, elongation and ageing samples from each mix
  • Suppliers and batch numbers are recorded so every drum can be traced back to its materials

  • Class 5/6 stranding with lay length and tension monitored for trailing and reeling flexibility
  • Continuous-vulcanisation extrusion with wall thickness and spark tests logged on every length
  • Operators sign off each stage before the cable moves to the next machine

  • Voltage withstand (3.5 kV and higher) and partial-discharge measurement in the shielded HV laboratory
  • Screen and pilot-core continuity checks for mining and reeling constructions

  • Constant-temperature water bath for insulation resistance of submersible constructions
