Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 8 AWG 8C Stranded Bare Copper Shielded XLPE SWA PVC RE4(O)FR 0.6/1KV Low Voltage Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable features 8 conductors, each of 8 American Wire Gauge (AWG) size, made of stranded bare copper. It is shielded and insulated with Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE), armored with Steel Wire Armor (SWA), and encased in a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) sheath. The RE4(O)FR rating signifies compliance with certain fire resistance and low smoke emission standards. The 0.6/1KV rating indicates its suitability for low voltage applications up to 1000 volts.
