A CPR class is declared by the maker in its Declaration of Performance and printed on the sheath (EN 50575 cl 7). This decoder does not assign one. What the CPR classes mean →

3184Y as the cable designer builds it, 4x1.5 300/500 V

Overall diameter 9.1 mm, about 140 kg/km. Nominal values from the standard's tables for this size, computed, not a maker's data.

3184Y on a drum

The smallest drum that passes every check, for 9.1 mm and about 140 kg/km as the cable designer builds it. Drums as their makers print them; lengths are estimates within a few per cent of the cable makers' own tables: whole layers, wound diameter 1.05 × OD, 50 mm freeboard under the flange rim.

Length	Drum size (its makers)	Layers	Gross weight
500 m	KTG 6 (600 mm flange), plywood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka	11 of 13	77 kg
1,000 m	KTG 8 (800 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG	15 of 15	171–175 kg

Barrel at least 12 × OD = 109 mm for a cable of this kind (Flexible cable (class 5 or 6 conductor)): KTG table, the cable's datasheet wins. A load rating is the drum maker's own.

Laying, sizes and datasheet: 3184Y

3184Y belongs to the family Flexible cords: the lowest laying temperature, bending radius, pulling, depth, drum handling and the test after laying, every rule with its sources. Laying and handling guide: Flexible cords
