Low Voltage Cable Types by Installation Requirement
Different installation conditions require different low voltage cable structures. A cable used underground may need armour and a stronger outer sheath, while a cable installed on a protected cable tray may use an unarmoured structure. The installation method should be confirmed before quotation.
Cable Type for Cable Tray
Cable tray installation usually uses unarmoured power cables, control cables or flexible cables when the route is protected. Cable weight, bending radius, sheath material and fire requirement should be checked.
Cable Type for Underground Installation
Underground installation may require armoured low voltage cables, especially for direct burial or cable trench routes. Please confirm whether the cable will be installed in duct, trench or direct burial.
Cable for Indoor Building Wiring
Indoor building wiring may use building wires, fixed wiring cables, PVC insulated wires, flexible wires or LSZH cables according to local standards and project requirements.
Cable For Industrial Equipment and Panels
Industrial equipment and panels may require control cables, flexible cables, wiring cables or power cables. Shielded cable may be needed when the cable is close to motors, drives or signal circuits.
