BS 6346 PVC Insulated Cables, 600/1000V
Single-core 600/1000V cables with circular stranded copper conductor
Application
These power and control cables are used for electricity supply in low voltage installation system. They are well adapted to underground use in industrial applications where chemical and mechanical protections are needed (refinery areas, chemical plant...).
