XLPE Insulated Copper Cables
Copper wires and cables insulated with XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) provide superior thermal and electrical performance compared to conventional PVC wires. These cables withstand higher operating temperatures, feature lower electrical resistance, and offer higher current carrying capacity for the same cross-section. Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, including building and factory distribution systems, as well as power applications requiring high thermal performance. Available in various core configurations and cross-sections to suit diverse requirements.
