Product catalog summary
Introduction
The EV-Ultra cables are innovative solutions designed for electric vehicle charge points, integrating power conductors and data within a single cable for a neater, faster, and easier installation process.

Technical Details
Running data and power in a single cable is often debated among electricians due to concerns about segregation. However, EV-Ultra cables are designed to safely incorporate both, similar to DALI networks. The cables are super screened to minimize electromagnetic and electrostatic interference, ensuring no signal degradation.

Regulations
Voltage Band I includes extra-low voltage applications, while Band II covers higher voltages like 230V supplies. EV-Ultra cables are rated to the same nominal voltage, eliminating the need for segregation between power and data circuits.

Cable Construction
The cables feature plain annealed copper conductors, thermosetting XLPE insulation, CarbonTek® bedding, and galvanized steel wire armour. They are available in both Tuff Sheath® and SWA variants.

Applications
While primarily designed for electric vehicle charge points, these cables are also suitable for other installations requiring power and data, such as CCTV, solar/battery inverter wiring, and network distribution in caravan sites.

Product Variants
1. 3 Core + 2 Core Data Cable: Suitable for single-phase applications, available in various sizes with different weight and diameter specifications.
2. 3 Core + 4 Pair Data Cable: Incorporates a 4 pair super screened data cable, suitable for installations requiring enhanced data capabilities.
3. 5 Core + 4 Pair Data Cable: Designed for three-phase applications, offering robust power and data connectivity.

Electrical Properties
The cables have specific current ratings and voltage drops based on conductor size, with detailed specifications provided for different ambient temperatures and installation conditions.

Conclusion
EV-Ultra cables offer a comprehensive solution for integrating power and data in electric vehicle charging and other applications, ensuring compliance with regulations and providing reliable performance.

TECHNICAL DETAILS Technical Details Running data and power in a single cable is a concern for many electricians, with most believing that segregation of power (Band II) and data (Band I) is always required. It is however already common to find power and data inside one cable in many existing applications, an example is DALI networks which incorporate data within a 5 core power cable. It is recommended that the screening of the data cable is terminated to earth. What do the regulations say? Voltage Band I is defined as levels of voltage which are too low to provide serious electric shocks; effectively...
