KVV32 Control Cable is a high-performance PVC insulated, steel wire armoured (SWA) copper control cable designed for reliable operation in fixed installation environments. It is widely used in control circuits, monitoring systems, and signal transmission for industrial automation, power stations, petrochemical plants, and infrastructure projects.
This cable is especially suitable for installation in environments subject to mechanical stress, including direct burial in the ground, cable trenches, ducts, and indoor fixed wiring. KVV32 cable offers enhanced protection thanks to its steel wire armour, which provides excellent resistance to crushing, external forces, and rodents.
