Firetox Flame Retardant Cables 

Firetox Flame Retardant Cables

600/1000V XLPE Insulated, LSZH Sheathed, Armoured Power Cables (single core)

FTX300 1RCZ1MZ1-R (CU/XLPE/CUTO/LSZH/AWA/LSZH 600/1000V Class 2)

Application

This range of screened cables drastically reduce interferences from electrical noise, especially in Variable Speed

Drive (VSD) applications and are manufactured with fixed conductors.
