XLPE Insulated Stranded Copper Cable, Armed with Steel Wires, 3x240+500mm2, 0.6/1kV | Alfanar

Stranded copper armored cable (CU/XLPE/SWA/PVC), Produced by Alfanar Company, Armored with single layer of round galvanized steel wires (SWA) to give it mechanical strength to protect it from external pressures that fall on the cable. Insulated with XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene), which offers an exceptional combination of properties that make it the ideal choice for a wide range of power and energy transmission applications due to its excellent electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties, where it is characterized by its ability to withstand high temperatures  up to 90°C for extended periods without compromising performance. It also offers excellent resistance to moisture, corrosion, and chemicals, ensuring long-term safety of use. Additionally, sheathed in PVC (polyvinyl chloride) material, which provides extra protection for the cable against shocks, abrasion, corrosion, and prevents harmful UV rays from damaging the cable. This makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications where there is a risk of mechanical damage. Available in different shapes, sizes and conductor ratings to meet diverse application requirements.
