Type 201 / Type 211 BS 6708 640/1100 V Armoured Trailing Cable

Type 201 / Type 211 for mine roadway extensions, mechanically protected quarry trailing and coalface lighting

Type 201 / Type 211 mining cable is specified in the supplied BS 6708 datasheet for mine roadway extensions, mechanically protected quarry trailing and coalface lighting. This page keeps the source-listed voltage, test reference, core functions and dimensional tables together so a procurement engineer can compare the requested model against the cable marking and the equipment connection. The editorial focus is the screened armoured roadway-extension choice, not a generic promise of performance.

The supplied construction uses three flexible tinned annealed copper power conductors with MEPR insulation and copper/nylon phase screens, galvanized pliable steel wire armour and a black PCP jacket with yellow stripe. That arrangement matters because Type 201 has three screened power cores; Type 211 adds one unscreened earth core. Both use armouring and the yellow-striped overall jacket described in the PDF. The family should therefore be selected by model, core function and installation route as well as by voltage. The مجموعة كابلات التعدين والأنفاق provides the wider TEBAOFLEX product context.

• اختر حسب: confirm whether Type 201 without an earth core or Type 211 with one unscreened earth core matches the equipment and protection circuit.
• تأكيد قبل الطلب: existing sheath marking, conductor area, cable length, route, support or handling system, terminations and the required inspection documents.
• Do not infer: values not listed in the supplied PDF, such as a different current basis, water/oil/UV performance, certification scope or mechanical interchangeability.

When an armoured trailing cable is being replaced, the BS 6708 mining cable replacement guide helps keep the voltage, armour and model-family checks in the same review.

For a technical quotation, send the equipment nameplate or existing cable marking, voltage and size requirement, installation conditions, quantity, destination and any project-specific test or documentation requirement.

Type 201 / Type 211 construction

The cross-section below is the supplied construction drawing for Type 201 / Type 211. The ordering decision is driven by Type 201 has three screened power cores; Type 211 adds one unscreened earth core. Both use armouring and the yellow-striped overall jacket described in the PDF.

Source-listed construction

Do not use the drawing as a substitute for the dimensional tables. Confirm the cable end preparation, screen and earth termination, armour bonding and machine interface with the equipment documentation before installation.

Type 201 / Type 211 applications

The supplied datasheet identifies this cable for mine roadway extensions, mechanically protected quarry trailing and coalface lighting. Google result patterns for the BS 6708 family also separate cables by equipment duty, voltage class, core function and whether the route is armoured, screened, flat or auxiliary. That is why this page keeps the Type 201 / Type 211 construction separate from nearby Type numbers.

• Primary duty: mine roadway extensions, mechanically protected quarry trailing and coalface lighting.
• Model boundary: Type 201 has three screened power cores; Type 211 adds one unscreened earth core. Both use armouring and the yellow-striped overall jacket described in the PDF.
• Project check: match the cable marking, core map, voltage, termination, route geometry and handling method to the machine drawing.
• Environmental review: confirm the actual mine/quarry conditions and any authority, inspection or documentation requirements; do not infer a certification or material-resistance claim from the model number.

For a 1900/3300 V armoured trailing route, see the Type 321/331 mining cable family as a higher-voltage comparison, subject to the equipment design.

The cable should be released only after the equipment route, required length, conductor area, core functions and connection details are agreed. If the intended duty is different from the source-listed application, request an engineering review through the quotation process.

Type 201 / Type 211 specifications

The summary below identifies the supplied model family. The source-transcribed tables that follow retain the PDF's dimensional, electrical and construction values, including available sizes, resistance, current, diameter, mass, bending or pulling data when the PDF provides them.

Complete source-transcribed technical tables

Source PDF: BS6708_TYPE_201_TYPE_211_640_1100V_ARMOURED_TRAILING_CABLE_datasheet.pdf; 4 pages; 6 extracted tables. Values are not recalculated or replaced by third-party values.

Use the table values with the equipment drawing and approved termination plan. If the requested conductor area, current basis, mechanical limit or environmental condition is not listed in the supplied PDF, treat it as a quotation-stage confirmation item.

Type 201 / Type 211 standards and references

The product page preserves the BS 6708 reference appearing in the supplied PDF. The BSI record currently identifies BS 6708:1998 as withdrawn on 22 May 2026; this status note is a standards-reference update, not a claim that the product is currently certified or approved. See the official BSI BS 6708 scope record for the published status.

For an RFQ, state the required standard documents, inspection scope, test report, cable marking, destination rules and any replacement-equivalence requirement. The model number alone does not establish legal installation compliance.
