FAQ
1. What is an XLPE Flexible Cable?
A cable with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation designed for flexibility and high thermal resistance.
2. Where is it commonly used?
Used in industrial machinery, control systems, power distribution, and environments requiring flexible cable installation.
3. What are its main construction features?
Copper conductors, XLPE insulation, and an outer sheath (PVC or other protective material) for mechanical and environmental protection.
4. What are the benefits of XLPE flexible cables?
High temperature resistance, excellent electrical performance, flexibility, and durability in harsh environments.
5. How to select the right XLPE flexible cable?
Consider voltage rating, current capacity, environmental conditions, and flexibility requirements.
6.Can cables be used outdoors or buried underground?
Yes, but outdoor or direct-burial cables require UV-resistant, water-resistant, or armored designs to withstand environmental conditions.
