Type FS4 BS 6708 640/1100 V Flat Catenary Mining Cable

Type FS4 for overhead catenary systems and similar applications

Type FS4 mining cable is specified in the supplied BS 6708 datasheet for overhead catenary systems and similar applications. 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 flat-cable geometry and overhead routing problem, not a generic promise of performance.

The supplied construction uses individually screened phase and pilot cores laid parallel in a flat configuration without contacting each other, with EPR insulation and a heavy-duty chloroprene outer sheath. That arrangement matters because FS4 is a flat cable for overhead catenary-type service, not a round coal-cutter cable. The family should therefore be selected by model, core function and installation route as well as by voltage. The gamme de câbles pour l'exploitation minière et le creusement de tunnels provides the wider TEBAOFLEX product context.

• Choisir par : confirm the catenary support, flat orientation, spacing and termination geometry; do not replace it with a round trailing cable by voltage match alone.
• Confirmez avant de commander : 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.

Le BS 6708 mining cable replacement guide is useful when a flat catenary route must be kept distinct from round trailing and coal-cutter constructions.

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 FS4 construction

The cross-section below is the supplied construction drawing for Type FS4. The ordering decision is driven by FS4 is a flat cable for overhead catenary-type service, not a round coal-cutter cable.

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 FS4 applications

The supplied datasheet identifies this cable for overhead catenary systems and similar applications. 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 FS4 construction separate from nearby Type numbers.

• Primary duty: overhead catenary systems and similar applications.
• Model boundary: FS4 is a flat cable for overhead catenary-type service, not a round coal-cutter cable.
• 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.

If the route is a round armoured trailing arrangement rather than a flat catenary layout, review the Type 201/211 armoured trailing cable as a different construction path.

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 FS4 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_FS4_640_1100V_FLAT_CABLE_datasheet.pdf; 2 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 FS4 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.
