Product Overview
PVC covered aluminium conductors, steel reinforced Type 16, are primarily used for crossings of telecommunication lines and their proximities. The steel reinforcement provides additional mechanical strength, while the PVC insulation offers protection against accidental contact with low voltage lines and resistance to corrosive atmospheres.
Standard: BS 6485:1999
Application: Crossings of telecommunication lines and proximities to them.
