Start with the insulation designation
The supplied June 2026 list separates FR and FRLS single-core building wires from Safe & Sure flexible cables. FR identifies flame-retardant insulation; FRLS identifies flame-retardant, low-smoke insulation. These labels describe insulation characteristics. Neither label alone determines the conductor size required for a circuit.
Size the conductor for the circuit
Ask the electrical designer to select conductor area using the load, cable route, installation method, grouping, ambient conditions and permissible voltage drop. A current value printed in a price list is not a universal rating for every installation. Longer routes and grouped cables can change the selection. Keep the conductor specification and protective-device selection together.
Check the order unit
The FR and FRLS tables list 90 m and 180 m coil options. Quote the insulation type, cross-sectional area, colour and coil length on the purchase order. The flexible-cable section contains a 100 m heading alongside 90 m table columns, so obtain written confirmation of the supplied length before comparing prices.
Build a clear enquiry
For a house wiring enquiry, send a circuit schedule or material list with wire type, size, colour and quantity. For a flexible connection, add the core count and application. Ask for the exact catalog number and a current quote; the dated manufacturer MRP should not be treated as a project-specific selling price.
Explore the products & sources
This guide draws on the supplied manufacturer catalogs. Exact specifications and available variants should be checked against the selected model.
