MULTICORE FLEXIBLE
MULTICORE FLEXIBLE is a BIS type names (India) cable designation: FLEXIBLE = Flexible conductor (class 5); MULTICORE FLEXIBLE = Multicore flexible cable: class 5 copper cores in PVC under a PVC sheath, in the general purpose, FR or FR-LSH grade (IS 694 Tables 6, 7 and 9). 1100 V (IS 694 Amendment No. 3, 2015). IS 694:2010 + Amd 3:2015, Tables 6, 7 and 9; insulation and sheath IS 5831; conductor IS 8130.

Fire behaviour (EU CPR)
PVC sheath (MULTICORE FLEXIBLE).
Typically targeted, as declared by makers for this kind of construction in the examples this site checked (not the class of this cable):
EcaN1XV-R, Ahlsell (seller)Cca-s3,d1,a3FG16OR16, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)EcaU1000 R2V, Nexans (La Triveneta Cavi)EcaN2XSY, Waskönig+Walter (10 kV datasheet)
Listed as sources, alphabetically by maker. No maker pays to appear here.
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 →

MULTICORE FLEXIBLE as the cable designer builds it, 3x2.5 1100 V
Overall diameter 9.3 mm, about 160 kg/km. Nominal values from the standard's tables for this size, computed, not a maker's data.
| Layer | Material | Thickness, mm | Over the layer, mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insulation | PVC | 0.70 | 3.4 |
| Filler | PVC | 7.3 | |
| Sheath | PVC | 1.0 | 9.3 |
MULTICORE FLEXIBLE on a drum
The smallest drum that passes every check, for 9.3 mm and about 160 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 | 12 of 12 | 87 kg |
| 1,000 m | KTG 8 (800 mm flange), wood KTG drums (Europe), Bayka, KTG | 15 of 15 | 191–195 kg |
Barrel at least 12 × OD = 112 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.
