LXS cable is designed for overhead low voltage power distribution, especially in public utility networks. It is ideal for outdoor installations where cables are suspended between poles or attached to building façades. The cable offers excellent resistance to environmental factors such as UV radiation, temperature changes, and humidity.Parameter
⚠️ Note: LXS cable is not suitable for direct burial or underground installation.
Applications
-
Public electrical distribution networks
-
Overhead line installations on poles or facades
-
Public lighting and auxiliary power supply
-
Rural and urban low voltage power distribution
-
Areas with exposure to environmental stress (sunlight, wind, rain)
Its robust design and durable insulation make LXS cable suitable for long-term outdoor service, especially in regions with harsh climates.
