FAQ

‌Q: Is the conductor material copper or aluminum?‌
A: It typically features ‌copper conductors‌ (Class 1 or 2) for high conductivity, but aluminum variants are also available upon request

Q: What insulation material is used?‌
A: ‌XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene)‌ insulation is standard, offering superior thermal resistance compared to PVC

Q: What does "STA" stand for in the cable designation?‌
A: STA indicates ‌Steel Tape Armor‌, providing mechanical protection against crushing and rodent damage

Q: Does the cable meet flame retardant standards?‌
A: Yes, it complies with ‌IEC 60332-1‌ for low flame propagation and is rated for flame-retardant applications

‌Q: Where is this cable commonly used?‌
A: Ideal for ‌industrial plants, underground installations, and substations‌ due to its armored and flame-resistant properties

‌Q: Is it suitable for direct burial?‌
A: Yes, the steel armor and moisture-resistant sheath make it suitable for ‌underground and cable duct installations‌

‌Q: Can it be used in hazardous environments?‌
A: While flame-retardant, specific hazardous area approvals (e.g., ATEX) may require additional testing. Consult the manufacturer for tailored solutions
