Our XLPE-insulated and low-smoke zero-halogen sheathed cable with excellent performance is specifically designed for fixed installation. It is an ideal choice in the field of building wiring, especially suitable for areas where smoke emission may pose a potential threat to life safety. However, it should be noted that this cable is not suitable for direct burial underground or burial through pipes.
