Type 43 BS 6708 125/72 V Non-Metallic Screened Drill Cable

Type 43 for hand-held drilling machines in deep mines and on the surface

Type 43 mining cable is specified in the supplied BS 6708 datasheet for hand-held drilling machines in deep mines and on the surface. 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 conducting-elastomer screen route for low-voltage drill service, not a generic promise of performance.

The supplied construction uses three phase cores, one pilot and one earth core laid without contact around a semiconducting cradle, with a conducting elastomeric compound and heavy-duty chloroprene sheath. That arrangement matters because Type 43 uses the non-metallic conducting screen construction; Type 44 uses a tinned copper/nylon braided phase screen. 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 the drilling-machine voltage, semiconductive cradle arrangement and non-metallic screen requirement before comparing with Type 44.
• 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 a hand-held drill cable is being replaced, the BS 6708 mining cable replacement guide helps keep the low-voltage drill family and its screen construction distinctions visible.

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 43 construction

The cross-section below is the supplied construction drawing for Type 43. The ordering decision is driven by Type 43 uses the non-metallic conducting screen construction; Type 44 uses a tinned copper/nylon braided phase screen.

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 43 applications

The supplied datasheet identifies this cable for hand-held drilling machines in deep mines and on the surface. 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 43 construction separate from nearby Type numbers.

• Primary duty: hand-held drilling machines in deep mines and on the surface.
• Model boundary: Type 43 uses the non-metallic conducting screen construction; Type 44 uses a tinned copper/nylon braided phase screen.
• 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.

The metallic-screened Type 44 drill cable is the closest model comparison when the project requires a different screen construction; verify the drill maker's cable interface before ordering.

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 43 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_43_125_72V_HANDHELD_DRILLING_MACHINE_CABLE_datasheet.pdf; 3 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 43 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.
