8 AWG 5C Tinned Copper Shielded Armour XLPO Power IEEE Type P BS GAALSHIP Offshore Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 8 AWG 5C Tinned Copper Shielded Armour XLPO Power IEEE Type P BS GAALSHIP Offshore Cable:100 Amps

About:

This cable features a 8 AWG, 5-conductor tinned copper design, providing excellent corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. The shielded armour enhances its mechanical protection, while the cross-linked polyolefin (XLPO) insulation ensures superior chemical and heat resistance. It is built to meet IEEE Type P and British Standards, making it suitable for critical and safety systems in harsh conditions..
