Construction

Conductors:

This lead wire conductor is a stranded piece enhanced with tinned copper. The set-up is put together in line with the specifications of ASTM B-33. Stranding makes the cable very flexible so that it can be folded for easy transportation and bent to fit into ducts during installation.

Insulation:

The hook up cable has XLPE insulation, which is flexible but very tough, made of a complex chain of molecules forming a sturdy polymer. It can withstand a wide range of temperatures, is resistant to chemicals and UV light deformations, water-tight, and easy to cut.
