FIRE PERFORMANCE

Flame Retardance (Single Vertical Wire Test)BS EN 60332-1-2

VOLTAGE RATING

600/1000V

CABLE CONSTRUCTION

ConductorAnnealed copper wire, stranded according to BS EN 60228 class 2.
InsulationExtruded XLPE GP 8 according to BS 7655-1.3.
BeddingPVC.
ArmouringGalvanized steel wire
Outer SheathPVC Type 9 according to BS 7655-4.2.
