The 2-Core XLPE Insulated PVC Sheathed Unarmoured Copper Cable is a low-voltage power cable rated at 0.6/1kV, designed for high-performance power transmission in indoor and outdoor environments. Manufactured with stranded or solid copper conductors and insulated with XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene), this cable offers excellent thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties, along with a durable PVC outer sheath for added protection. It is ideal for fixed wiring installations where mechanical protection is not required.
Application
This cable is suitable for use in power distribution networks, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings. It can be installed in:
-
Damp and wet environments
-
Cable ducts, conduits, or trunking
-
Buried directly in the ground (if not subject to mechanical damage)
-
Indoors or outdoors, in residential, commercial, or industrial installations
Its compact structure and flexibility also make it suitable for installations where space is limited.
Standards
-
IEC 60228 – Conductors of insulated cables
-
IEC 60502-1 – Power cables with extruded insulation for rated voltages 1kV (Um=1.2kV) and 3kV (Um=3.6kV)
