Key Performance Characteristics
-
Superior EPR Insulation: Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation offers excellent dielectric strength, high flexibility across a wide temperature range, and outstanding resistance to heat, moisture, and electrical stress, ensuring long-term reliability.
-
Maximum Mechanical Protection: The galvanized steel wire braid armor provides supreme resistance to crushing, impact, abrasion, and rodent damage, making it ideal for exposed or high-risk installation routes.
-
Durable Environmental Resistance: The Polychloroprene (PCP, Neoprene) inner sheath provides strong protection against oils, ozone, weathering, and chemicals, safeguarding the cable core in harsh conditions.
-
High Flexibility: Despite its robust armor, the use of flexible Class 5/6 conductors ensures the cable remains manageable for installation in complex pathways and cable trays.
-
Bunched Flame Retardancy (SA): Complies with IEC 60332-1 and IEC 60332-3-22 for flame retardancy when installed in bunched configurations, helping to inhibit flame spread.
