description
Conductor: Annealed electrolytic copper; flexible stranding.
Insulation: XLPE (crosslinked polyethylene).
Identification:
| - 3 Conductors: |
Shield: Copper wire concenctric conductor plus copper tape with adequate overlap and 100% coverage. See the table for the cross-section value relevant to each cable version.
Sheath: Black PVC, fire-retardant.
