VVR cable is a type of flexible cable with PVC insulation, mainly used for power transmission and wiring. It consists of copper conductors with multiple stranded insulated cores, offering good flexibility and heat resistance. VVR cables are suitable for indoor wiring, power lines, and control circuits. Due to their excellent insulation properties and aging resistance, they are widely used in various buildings, machinery, and electronic equipment.
Application and Description
VVR cable is designed for fixed installations in exposed wiring systems, either in air, conduits, or raceways, and is suitable for both dry and wet locations. It is also applicable for direct burial in the ground. Commonly used in industrial environments and residential wiring systems, VVR cables provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for low-voltage power distribution.
