Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 16 AWG 40C Stranded Bare Copper Shielded XLPE SWA PVC RE4(O)FR 0.6/1KV Low Voltage Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable is specifically crafted for low voltage operations, capable of handling up to 0.6/1KV (600/1000 Volts). It's built to provide secure and efficient power distribution and signal transmission, particularly in settings where protection against EMI and physical damage is crucial.

Also Known As:

• 16 AWG 40 Conductor Shielded Low Voltage Cable
• Stranded Bare Copper XLPE Cable
• SWA PVC Sheathed RE4(O)FR Cable
• Industrial and Infrastructure EMI Protected Cable

Application:

• Industrial Control Systems: Utilized in industrial environments where precise control over machinery and processes is necessary, even in areas with significant electromagnetic disturbances.
• Infrastructure Projects: Ideal for use in power distribution networks within tunnels, bridges, underground passages, and other settings where cables must withstand physical stresses and potential environmental hazards.
• Data Transmission: Employed in telecommunications infrastructures, data centers, and network hubs where maintaining signal integrity is crucial amidst high levels of electromagnetic interference.
• Safety and Security Systems: Suitable for wiring fire alarm circuits, CCTV networks, and access control systems, where maintaining cable integrity and fire resistance is critical.

Standards:

• RE4(O)FR: Indicates compliance with fire performance standards, signifying the cable is flame retardant and emits low smoke and harmful gases when exposed to fire.
• XLPE Insulation: Specifies the use of cross-linked polyethylene for insulation, known for its excellent electrical properties, as well as high resistance to heat and chemicals.
• SWA: Steel Wire Armoured, providing substantial physical protection against impacts and crushes, making it suitable for demanding environments.
• PVC Sheath: The polyvinyl chloride outer sheath adds an extra layer of defense against moisture, chemicals, and UV radiation, facilitating outdoor and underground applications.
