300/500V PVC insulated non-sheathed single core cable is designed for fixed wiring installations.
It is suitable for building wiring, conduit systems, trunking, switchgear, control panels and protected electrical installations.
The cable is widely used in domestic, commercial and industrial low voltage applications.
It should be installed in conduit, trunking or other protected wiring systems where mechanical protection is provided.
The cable should be selected according to voltage rating, conductor size, installation method and project specification.
