EN 60332-1-2 |
VOLTAGE RATING
300/500V
Cable Construction
| Conductor |
Annealed copper conductor, class 1 (1.0mm^2 to 2.5mm^2) or class 2 (4mm^2 to 35mm^2) according to BS EN 60228. |
| Insulation |
PVC Type TI 1 according to BS EN 50363-3. |
| Outer Sheath |
PVC Type 6 according to BS 7655-4.2. |
| Outer Sheath Option |
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. |
