300/500V PVC insulated and PVC sheathed multi-core cable is used for fixed wiring installations.
It is suitable for building wiring, lighting circuits, power circuits and general low voltage electrical installations.
The cable can be used in domestic, commercial and industrial buildings.
It is designed for protected installations where PVC insulation and PVC outer sheath are required.
Typical applications include conduit, trunking, cable trays, panels and protected wiring systems.
The cable should be selected according to voltage rating, number of cores, conductor size, installation method and project specification.

| Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test) | EN 60332-1-2 |
300/500V
| Conductor | Flexible copper wire according to EN 60228 class 5. |
| Insulation | PVC Type TI 2 according to EN 50363-3. |
| Filling | For circular cable having two cores, the space between the cores shall be filled either by separate fillers or by the sheath filling the interstices. For circular cables with three, four or five cores, a centre filler may be used. |
| Outer Sheath | PVC Type TM 2 according to EN 50363-4-1. A tape may be applied around the core assembly before application of the sheath. |
| 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. |
