Products Description
This XLPE insulated medium voltage cable is designed for fixed power distribution in industrial plants, commercial facilities and infrastructure projects. It features a Class 2 aluminum conductor, XLPE insulation, PVC inner sheath, galvanized steel tape armor and a flame-retardant PVC outer sheath.
The XLPE insulation provides stable electrical performance at continuous conductor temperatures of up to 90°C. The steel tape armor adds mechanical protection, making the cable suitable for installations where the cable route may be exposed to external pressure or impact.
Steel Tape Armor for Added Mechanical Protection
The steel tape armor provides protection around the cable core against external mechanical forces during installation and service. It is well suited to fixed cable routes where additional protection is needed but a heavier armor construction is not necessary.
The flame-retardant PVC outer sheath protects the cable from the surrounding environment while providing the required flame-retardant performance for applicable installations.
Applications
This cable is commonly used for:
- Industrial power distribution
- Manufacturing plants
- Commercial and infrastructure projects
- Electrical equipment connections
- Fixed cable routes requiring mechanical protection
In industrial facilities, cable routes may pass through areas exposed to construction work, equipment movement or other physical risks. An armored construction provides an additional layer of protection without requiring separate mechanical covering along the entire route.
Aluminum Conductor and XLPE Insulation
The aluminum conductor offers a practical balance between electrical performance, weight and material cost. XLPE insulation provides good thermal stability and is widely used in medium voltage power cables.
The combination is suitable for projects where cable weight and installation cost need to be considered alongside electrical performance, particularly in larger cable sizes and long distribution runs.

Why Huayu Cable
Huayu Cable has been manufacturing wire and cable products since 2004. The company operates a production base of more than 258,000 m² and has developed 38 main product series with more than 8,000 specifications.
For medium-voltage cable projects, the benefit is not simply having different cable sizes available. A project may involve several cable types, different installation conditions and different certification requirements at the same time. Huayu's production, technical and sales teams can work together from the quotation stage to confirm the construction before the order enters production.
Huayu also maintains certification and testing capabilities covering a range of international and industry requirements, including ABS, CCS, DNV, LR, EAC/GOST, IEC, TÜV and CE, depending on the product and project specification.
