600/1000V multi-core XLPE insulated PVC sheathed unarmoured cable is designed for fixed low voltage power distribution.
It is suitable for industrial plants, commercial buildings, equipment connections and general electrical installations.
The XLPE insulation provides reliable electrical performance and thermal stability.
The PVC outer sheath provides general protection for fixed installation environments.
As an unarmoured cable, it does not provide metallic mechanical protection.
It is suitable for cable tray, conduit, trunking, duct and other protected cable routes.
It is not recommended for direct burial without additional mechanical protection.
The cable should be selected according to voltage rating, number of cores, conductor size, installation method and project specification.
