12 AWG 6C Stranded Bare Copper Shielded XLPE SWA PVC RE4(O)FR 0.6/1KV Low Voltage Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 12 AWG 6C Stranded Bare Copper Shielded XLPE SWA PVC RE4(O)FR 0.6/1KV Low Voltage Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This is a low-voltage cable designed for electrical installations requiring a 0.6/1KV rating. It features 12 American Wire Gauge (AWG) stranded bare copper conductors, indicating the thickness and flexibility of the wire. The cable has six conductors (6C), is shielded, and includes several layers of protection and insulation.

Also Known As:

In industry terms, this cable might be known as 12 AWG shielded low-voltage cable, 6-core armored cable, or multi-conductor fire-resistant cable. The specifics of its construction and use dictate these alternate names.

Application:

This type of cable is typically used in environments where multiple low voltage connections are necessary along with additional protection. These applications could include industrial control systems, power distribution within buildings, outdoor installations requiring robustness, or environments where fire resistance is essential.

Standards:

The cable likely adheres to certain international and national standards for safety, performance, and durability. The RE4(O)FR part of its name suggests compliance with specific fire safety and resistance standards. It may also meet standards related to electromagnetic interference shielding and environmental durability.
