Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) Insulation: XLPE offers high thermal resistance, allowing the cable to operate safely at higher temperatures (up to 90°C for continuous operation and 250°C under short-circuit conditions). This makes it suitable for environments with high ambient temperatures. XLPE insulation has low dielectric losses, which contributes to the cable's efficiency in power transmission, reducing energy losses over long distances. XLPE provides excellent insulation resistance, which enhances the cable's ability to prevent electrical faults, thus ensuring reliable power delivery.
Low Smoke Zero Halogen(LSZH) Sheath: A **Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)** sheath is specially formulated to improve safety in the event of a fire. Unlike standard PVC sheathing, LSZH materials emit **very low levels of smoke** and **do not release corrosive halogen gases** when exposed to high temperatures or flames. This helps to improve visibility during evacuation, reduces damage to sensitive electronic equipment, and minimises the risk of toxic fumes. LSZH sheaths also provide excellent mechanical protection, good abrasion resistance, and are suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications where enhanced fire safety is required. For these reasons, LSZH cables are widely used in public buildings, hospitals, schools, data centres, rail infrastructure, tunnels, airports, commercial premises, and other enclosed environments where protecting people and equipment is a priority.
Steel Wire Armouring (SWA): The SWA provides excellent mechanical protection, making the cable highly resistant to physical damage. This is particularly beneficial for underground installations or environments where the cable might be exposed to mechanical stress or impact. The armour also makes the cable capable of withstanding external forces such as crushing and pulling during installation.
This cable is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, including direct burial, ducts, and fixed installations. Due to its robust construction and resistance to environmental factors, the XLPE/PVC/SWA/PVC cable tends to have a longer service life, which reduces the need for frequent replacements and maintenance, providing a cost-effective solution over time.
