Hi Ian,
Am I to assume that you’re considering using this military-oriented cable in a commercial application, which was the basis of your question? The flammability characteristics of DEF STAN 61-12 part 4 cable is described in DEF STAN 61-12 part 0 (13.39) and defined in BS 3G 230 Test 28a. I do not have a copy of BS 3G 230 to comment further. But much like with MIL-STD compliant cable, there isn’t a likely direct correlation to the flammability requirements to those of UL 94. Because of that and in my experience, safety agencies like UL do not accept MIL-STD (or other non-UL) ratings without some extra testing, which translates to $$$. And, the Pro-Power 7-2-xxC datasheet does not even indicate a material flammability parameter, so I would suggest that you check with Pro-Power on that. IHTH.

The cable to which I'm referring is 7-2-xxC made by Pro-Power.
