About:

The "8 AWG 2C Stranded Bare Copper Shielded XLPE SWA PVC RE4(O)FR 0.6/1KV Low Voltage Cable" is a specific kind of electrical cable, well-suited for certain applications.

Also Known As:

• This cable can be commonly referred to as a 8 AWG, two-core, stranded bare copper cable with Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, Steel Wire Armored (SWA), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) sheathing, and fire-resistant features.
• The "2C" indicates it has two conductive cores.

Application:

• Ideal for industrial and commercial electrical installations where robust mechanical protection is essential.
• Suitable for power distribution in both outdoor and underground settings, thanks to its SWA and PVC sheathing.
• Used in building infrastructure, especially in areas where fire resistance is a priority.
• Appropriate for environments where protection against electromagnetic interference is necessary.

Standards:

• The cable likely meets international standards such as IEC or specific regional standards like ASTM, BS, etc., for electrical cables.
• The standards usually cover aspects like electrical performance, safety, fire resistance, and environmental resilience.
