S1BN8-F 0.6/1 kV Wastewater Pump Cable
S1BN8-F is a 0.6/1 kV flexible cable for wastewater pumps, submersible mixers and other electrical equipment in contaminated water.
- 0.6/1 kV
- EPR insulation and a black CPE sheath
- Class 5 plain copper conductors
- 90 °C maximum conductor temperature
- Power and control configurations; single- or two-layer sheath by size
S1BN8-F is a 0.6/1 kV flexible cable for wastewater pumps, submersible mixers and other electrical equipment in contaminated water. It combines Class 5 plain copper conductors, EPR insulation and a black CPE outer sheath. Power and numbered control configurations are available, with 79 configurations listed in the technical tables.
The sheath system follows the selected configuration. Single-core cables and multicore cables with up to five cores and a cross-section of 6 mm² or less use one CPE sheath. Multicore sizes from 10 mm², and constructions with more than five cores, add a blue EPR inner sheath beneath the black outer layer. The representative 4G25 illustration shows this two-layer construction.
Use the minimum and maximum finished diameter to match the pump gland or sealing sleeve. The size table also keeps fixed and moving bending radii, cable mass, tensile force and current data alongside each configuration. This helps coordinate the electrical selection with the space available at the motor entry and along the supported cable route.
For wastewater service, provide the liquid composition, expected contaminants and inspection arrangement with the enquiry. Send motor current, starting method, cable length, conductor configuration and entry-seal drawings for selection. Water depth and water-temperature limits are confirmed for the project after enquiry. Support and strain relief carry the cable load independently of the pump lifting system.
Construction
Cable layers are listed from the conductor to the outer sheath.

| Layer | Construction |
|---|---|
| Conductor | Plain fine-stranded copper, Class 5 to IEC 60228. |
| Insulation | EPR rubber around each conductor. |
| Sheath selection | Single black CPE sheath for single-core sizes and multicore sizes up to five cores and 6 mm². Blue EPR inner sheath plus black CPE outer sheath for multicore sizes from 10 mm² and cables with more than five cores. |
| Representative image | 4G25 with four equal cores in square packing, one green/yellow protective conductor and a blue inner sheath. No metallic screen. |
Applications
Use this construction for wastewater pump motors and submersible mixers. Match the cable to the actual equipment, route and water medium before selecting the final configuration.

- Select power cores or numbered control cores from the exact configuration table.
- Compare both OD limits with the pump entry seal, rather than matching conductor size alone.
- Keep wastewater installations accessible for inspection; specify chemical composition and cable support.
Keep contaminated-water routes accessible for inspection. Review aggressive chemicals and varying effluent composition individually. Provide cable support and strain relief separately from the pump lifting system.
Pump entry and wastewater route checklist
| Selection point | Design input |
|---|---|
| Power and control | Match the motor and auxiliary circuits to the exact core count and identification. |
| Entry seal | Check both OD limits with the seal supplier and allow the applicable entry bend. |
| Wastewater medium | Include oils, cleaning chemicals, pH and changing effluent composition in the enquiry. |
| Inspection and handling | Keep the supported route accessible for inspection; use independent lifting equipment for the pump. |
