FAQ
Q1: Can this cable be used for direct burial?
Yes, the PVC outer sheath with copper tape screen makes it suitable for direct burial and duct installation.
Q2: What is the function of CTS (copper tape screen)?
It provides uniform electric field distribution and reduces electromagnetic interference, improving safety and stability.
Q3: What is the minimum bending radius during installation?
Typically 15 times the overall cable diameter, depending on installation conditions.
Q4: Can you supply different drum lengths for projects?
Yes, drum length can be customized according to project requirements to reduce jointing points.
Q5: Is this cable suitable for high temperature environments?
It can operate continuously at 90°C conductor temperature with short-circuit resistance up to 250°C.
