Doncaster Cables EV-Ultra™: Combined 3 Core 4.0mm² Power + Cat 5e Data Cable

Simplify the wiring for your smart home EV charger installation with the innovative EV-Ultra™ cable from Doncaster Cables. This specialised cable is designed specifically for EV charging points, combining both power and data conductors within a single, easy-to-handle sheath. This particular variant features 3 core 4.0mm² power conductors (Live, Neutral, Earth) suitable for typical 7kW single-phase chargers, alongside an integrated 4-pair Cat 5e UTP data cable for smart functionality and network connectivity.

Efficient Power and Data Transmission

Running separate cables for power and data can be time-consuming and complex. The EV-Ultra™ design streamlines this process significantly. The 4.0mm² copper power conductors ensure efficient power delivery from your EV circuit protection unit to the charger, while the Cat 5e component provides reliable data transmission required by many modern smart chargers for features like load balancing, app control, and firmware updates.

Enhanced Safety with LSHF Sheath

Safety is paramount in electrical installations. This EV-Ultra™ cable features a Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF) outer sheath, according to the product datasheet. In the event of a fire, LSHF materials emit significantly less smoke and non-toxic fumes compared to traditional PVC, improving visibility and safety during an evacuation. The cable construction meets relevant standards including power cores to BS EN 50525-2-11 and data cores meeting Cat 5e performance.

Designed for EV Charger Installations

Meeting the requirements of BS 7671 section 722 for EV charging installations, this cable is UV stable and impact resistant, making it suitable for fixed installation both indoors and outdoors (within appropriate containment like conduit). Its combined nature makes routing EV cabling simpler and neater.
