Waterproof Submersible Pump Cable - UL 83 THHN Flat Flexible Copper, PVC/Nylon Jacket for Deep Well & Industrial Pumps
Product Overview
The Submersible Pump Cable is a specialized, high-flexibility cable designed for deep well submersible water pumps and other submerged applications. Engineered to withstand constant immersion, high pressure, and harsh environmental conditions, this cable features UL 83 Type THHN compliance, extra-flexible copper conductors, and a flat parallel design for seamless installation within narrow pump casings. Ideal for permanent underwater use, it ensures reliable power transmission in demanding wet environments.
