Looking at EV Ultra SWA 3 core cable with Cat 5 data and is raising a few questions.
It is aimed at EV charging installations, however…..
At some point that cable has to enter an enclosure and be terminated. This could be directly into an EV charger, designed to take the cable, but it could also potentially be terminating at the power source end, into an enclosure with power terminations for the 3 cores ( line conductors and CPC ), e.g. a consumer unit.
It just seems a bit iffy to have a data cable ( by now unsheathed and stripped back ) entering a consumer unit. A data cable that has a conductive shield.
Is anyone aware of any regs that specifically allow or prevent this situation? or is the case of “allow” is that covered by section 134 and regs such as 134.1.1 “Good workmanship….proper materials……manufacturers' instructions.” e.g. power elements and SWA terminated to CU with a gland, data cable suitably sheathed ( sleeved ) as it makes it's way back out of the CU to an appropriate ethernet connection?
