PVC/SWA/PVC

Uo/U  - 0.6/1 kV BS 6346Uo/U  - 0.6/1 kV BS 6346
Application
These cables are used in power plants, industrial and switching installations, for street lighting, domestic power supply connections, in secondary distribution networks and other.
 
These cables are preferentially used for underground application as well as for interior installation in room and cableducts and for outdoor and applications, for indoor installations, in the open air, underground and in water where greater mechanical protection an protection against accidental contact is required if damaged.
