About:

The Okoguard Bare Copper Shielded Steel Armour Binder Tape PVC Power Cable is equipped with a bare copper conductor, shielded with Okoguard insulation for superior dielectric strength and resistance to various stresses. It features steel armour for mechanical protection and a PVC jacket for environmental durability, making it suitable for power transmission in industrial and harsh environments.

Also Known As:

• Armored Power Cable
• Steel Armored PVC Cable
• Copper Shielded Armored Cable
