6242Y Cable

[BS3036]

Does anyone know the actual derivation of this number? I assumed it was a British Standard, but I think it's BS 6004 which actually defines t&e cable. And BSI don't seem to acknowledge BS 6264 except as a spec for medical specimen jars.

It's not a BS number, it's a UK code.

Obviously I meant BS 6242 - sorry!

333rocky333: that certainly sounds convincing - thanks!

You don't have a link though, do you? I've spent some time searching but can't find anything yet.

The interesting thing is the large number of suppliers supplying BS6242Y cable.
