VOLTAGE RATING

300/500 V

CABLE CONSTRUCTION

Conductor	Plain annealed copper wire, stranded according to IEC 60228 class 2
Insulation	Extruded XLPE compound
Outer Sheath	Thermoplastic PVC compound. UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti rodent and anti termite properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL 1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can also be provided upon request
