The 5x35mm² XLPE Insulated Copper Cable is a robust, low-voltage power cable designed for 600/1000V (0.6/1kV) applications, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. With five conductors of 35mm² each, this cable is ideal for balanced three-phase power systems with separate neutral and ground paths. Its XLPE insulation provides excellent thermal resistance and electrical properties, making it a reliable choice for power distribution in industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and underground installations.
Application
This cable is commonly used for:
-
Power transmission and distribution in urban networks and industrial plants
-
Fixed installations in damp or wet environments, indoors or outdoors
-
Direct burial, cable ducts, or conduit installations
-
Mains, submains, and subcircuits where mechanical protection is not required
-
Locations where space is limited but performance and reliability are critical
Standards
-
IEC 60228 – Conductors of insulated cables
-
IEC 60502-1 – Power cables with extruded insulation for rated voltages up to 1kV
