Cleveland Cable Company is the largest UK supplier of Bi-Rated and Tri-Rated cables, designed to meet the specifications of three international standards:
- British Standards Institute (BSI)
- Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
- Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
Also known as Tri-Rated control panel wire or switchgear cable, the term 'Tri-Rated' refers to the cable's triple certification, allowing it to be used in both North American and European markets. This fire-retardant cable is commonly used in electrical cabinets, switch control panels, relay and instrumentation panels, and power switchgear. In Europe, it is also known as H05V2-K and H07V2-K under the HAR designation.
