Description:

SOOW is water and weather-resistant service cable with an oil-resistant jacket and insulation. It is a reputable low-cost portable electrical cable that offers superior resistance to abrasion. The cable famously stays intact when in contact with a hot surface, making it perfect for tough applications, including compressors, industrial machinery, push-button remotes, industrial control systems, and water purification systems. SO is commonly used in mills, marinas, mines, industrial, commercial and residential facilities.It is also perfect for industrial plants, steel mills, breweries, theaters, process facilities, and construction settings. The cable exhibits premium flexibility and is resistant to chemicals, oil, water, sunlight, and air. The voltage rating is set at 600. A multiconductor cable is suitable for circuit branching and direct burial. The temperature range is -40°C to 90°C. SOOW electrical cable maintains its flexibility in both hot and cold applications.
