Orange Circular Building Cable 4 Core and Earth (5G) 4mm

Description

Four 4mm² actives plus earth, sold by the metre.

Larger four-conductor runs quickly become bulky when each conductor is pulled in on its own. The APEC MVM004E04 combines four 4mm² copper actives and a 2.5mm² earth in one 450/750V orange circular cable, built to AS/NZS 5000.2 and supplied in the length you order.

Key Features:

• Four core and earth (4C+E), round orange cable
• Four 4mm² annealed copper actives
• One 2.5mm² annealed copper earth
• 450/750V class, constructed to AS/NZS 5000.2
• Average V90 insulation of 0.8mm on actives and 0.7mm on earth
• PVC 5V90 sheath with 1.4mm average thickness
• Continuous conductor temperature up to 90°C
• Actives in red, white, blue and black; green/yellow earth
• Approximately 15.1mm overall and 32.9kg per 100m
• Cut to order in whole metres

Why It Matters

Four Larger Actives in One Pull

Each of the four 4mm² actives in the MVM004E04 has its own colour — red, white, blue or black — with 0.8mm of V90 insulation, while the green/yellow earth is 2.5mm² with 0.7mm insulation. A 1.4mm orange 5V90 sheath brings them together at roughly 15.1mm across, so a single cable does the job of five separate conductors.

A Reduced Earth, Clearly Stated

APEC pairs the 4mm² actives in this cable with a 2.5mm² earth rather than a matching 4mm² one. That is the manufacturer's published construction for this size, and it is listed plainly here so the cable can be checked against your protective earthing requirements before it is specified.

Ordered Per Metre, Sized Per Standard

Enter 16 metres, 70 metres or any other length and that quantity is cut for you, so there is no surplus drum to store at the end of the job. To decide whether 4mm² conductors suit the circuit's load and run length, refer to AS/NZS 3008.1.1; installation and testing should be done by a licensed electrician in line with AS/NZS 3000.

Q: How does the earth in APEC MVM004E04 compare with the actives?
A: It is smaller. The four actives are 4mm² and the green/yellow earth is 2.5mm², as specified by APEC for this cable.

Q: What are the dimensions of APEC MVM004E04 cable?
A: It has an approximate overall diameter of 15.1mm and weighs approximately 32.9kg per 100 metres.

Q: Is MVM004E04 sold on full drums only?
A: No. It is priced per metre, so you can order exactly the length a run calls for.
