Description
Product Overview
The RR Kabel FR-PVC Insulated Industrial Cable in 6 sq mm Blue is a Class 5 multistrand flexible cable engineered for demanding industrial wiring applications. Unlike single-strand house wires, this multistrand construction offers superior flexibility, making it the preferred choice for panel wiring, machine tool connections, and industrial control circuits where repeated movement or tight routing is required.
Manufactured by RR Kabel Limited at their Vadodara facility and compliant with IS 694, this cable carries FR (Flame Retardant) grade insulation — meaning it resists flame propagation and limits fire spread in case of electrical faults. The 100-metre coil is ideal for contractors, panel builders, and industrial electricians handling mid-to-large scale wiring jobs in factories, commercial buildings, and infrastructure projects.

Why Choose RR Kabel FR Multistrand Cable?
- Class 5 Flexible Construction: Fine multistrand copper conductor offers superior flexibility compared to Class 2 single-strand wire — easier to route through conduits and panel ducting
- FR-PVC Insulation: Flame Retardant grade insulation limits fire propagation, meeting IS 694 safety requirements for industrial installations
- 1100V Rating: Suitable for both LV single-phase and three-phase industrial power circuits up to 1100 Volts
- ISI Certified: Manufactured under strict quality control at RR Kabel’s ISO-certified Vadodara plant
- Pure Copper Conductor: High conductivity copper ensures minimal resistance losses and reliable performance over the cable’s service life
Class 5 vs Class 2 — Which Cable Do You Need?
Class 2 conductors are solid or stranded with fewer, thicker strands — used in fixed house wiring installations (Superex-FR House Wire). Class 5 conductors like this cable have many fine copper strands, making them flexible and ideal for applications where the cable needs to bend, flex, or be routed around tight corners inside panels and conduits. If you are wiring a control panel, always choose Class 5 multistrand.
Colour Code Guide
Blue is used as Phase B (second phase) in three-phase industrial wiring as per Indian standard colour coding practice. In single-phase industrial panels, blue is frequently used for neutral or as a second circuit colour for clear circuit identification. Always follow your project’s wiring colour scheme and IS 3043 earthing standard for safe installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between RR Kabel FR House Wire and FR Multistrand Industrial Cable?
FR House Wire (Superex-FR) uses a Class 2 conductor — solid or low-strand count — designed for fixed wiring inside walls and conduits in residential and commercial buildings. The FR Multistrand Industrial Cable uses a Class 5 conductor with fine copper strands, making it flexible and suitable for panel wiring, machine connections, and applications where the cable is routed around bends or subject to movement.
What does Class 5 conductor mean?
Class 5 refers to the conductor construction as defined in IS 8130. It means the conductor is made of many fine copper strands twisted together, resulting in a highly flexible cable. Class 5 is the standard for flexible industrial cables, panel wiring cables, and equipment hook-up wires where bending and routing flexibility is required.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This FR-PVC insulated cable is designed for indoor and protected industrial use — inside panels, conduits, cable trays, and enclosed machinery. For outdoor or direct burial applications, an armoured cable (AYWY or XLPE armoured) with UV-resistant or HDPE outer sheath is recommended. Please contact Shansen Enterprises for the right cable specification for your project.
What does FR (Flame Retardant) insulation mean?
FR stands for Flame Retardant. The PVC insulation compound used in this cable is formulated to self-extinguish when the ignition source is removed, limiting fire spread along the cable run. FR cables are mandatory in commercial buildings, industrial plants, and public infrastructure as per the National Building Code of India and IS 694 requirements.
