LXAV Cable Construction

LXAV Cable Construction

Application

LXAV cables are designed for low-voltage power distribution in environments where mechanical protection is essential. These cables are suitable for outdoor fixed installations, especially in areas exposed to:

  • Mechanical impact or pressure

  • Rodent threats

  • Direct burial or duct installation

  • Industrial zones and utility networks

The armored structure ensures excellent durability and protection during installation and operation.

Standards

  • IEC 60502-1 – Power cables with extruded insulation up to 1kV

  • IEC 60332-1 – Flame propagation test

  • IEC 60228 – Conductors of insulated cables

  • EN 50575 – CPR Reaction to fire performance (Eca classification)
