Application
Interlocked armoured cable for use in petro-chemical, pulp and paper, and other industrial application environments. TECK90 can be used in open and concealed wiring, direct burial, and in hazardous locations.
Applicable Standards
UL1569 standard, 600V/1kV, suitable for both dry and wet environments, can be directly buried
Key Parameters
Excellent flexibility: The interlocking structure can be bent with a small radius, allowing for wiring through pipes, ceilings, and cable trays
Integrated protection: Comes with metal mechanical protection, can replace conduit construction in most scenarios
Grounding shielding: Metal armor is continuously conductive and has both fault grounding and EMI electromagnetic interference resistance functions (steel armor has a stronger shielding effect)
Construction
- Cable core: copper/aluminum conductor, XLPE/XHHW-2 insulation, including ground wire filling and tape wrapping
- Interlocking armor (core): 5000 series aluminum alloy strip/galvanized steel strip stamped S-shaped buckle
- Aluminum armor: lightweight, low eddy current loss, corrosion resistance, smaller bending radius
- Steel armor: stronger mechanical compression resistance, impact resistance, and electromagnetic shielding
- Outer sheath: PVC/PE black outer cover (moisture-proof, sun resistant, direct burial optional)
- *We can design and produce according to client's requirement.
