PVC Insulated, 2 Cores Flat Cable, 450/750V
Product Overview
The PVC Insulated, 2 Cores Flat Cable is a 450/750V low voltage flat cable designed for general wiring in domestic, commercial, and industrial installations. It is suitable for unenclosed installation, enclosure in conduit, direct burial, or installation in underground ducts where not subject to mechanical damage. The cable is also suitable for lighting and applications not requiring an earth connection.
The cable features plain annealed copper conductors, PVC V90 insulation, and a PVC 3V90 sheath, with a maximum operating temperature of 90°C. It is manufactured to AS/NZS 5000.2, AS 1125, and AS 3808.
