-
Conductor:Made of tinned copper, providing excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.
-
Insulation and Jacket:The insulation and outer jacket are both made of XLPO (electron-beam cross-linked polyolefin).
- Halogen-free: This means it doesn’t release harmful halogens when burned.
- Low smoke: It produces low smoke during a fire, which improves visibility for safety during emergencies.
- UV and ozone resistant: Designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.
- High temperature resistant: The materials will not melt or flow at high temperatures, with a maximum conductor temperature of
