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
