BS6500 Cable

BS6500 cable, which is a British Standard for flexible cords, was traditionally used for a wide range of domestic and office appliances and equipment, including pendant lighting and portable devices. It is a flexible cable with a voltage rating of up to 300/500V. While the BS6500 standard is no longer current, the cables that were previously covered by it are now classified under BS EN 50525.

BS6500 cables are commonly used for connecting appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, and other household equipment.  These cables were also suitable for use with office machines, radios, and other equipment found in offices.

BS6500 cables were used for pendant lighting drops and other lighting applications.

BS6500 cables were suitable for fixed installations in furniture, decorative coverings, and within the hollow spaces of prefabricated building parts.
