TECK 90 600 V 4x6+1x8 AWG

Description

Description

Application:

General application in low voltage distribution networks in operating stations where high mechanical strength is required. The interlocked aluminum armour gives greater flexibility compared to the traditional steel armour and the type of conformation of the same make has a high resistance to loads that could be placed on it. Class I, Div.2 and Class II, Div.2 hazardous locations per NEC.

STANDARDS
