Heavy Duty Cables:

TROPODUR & TROPOTHEN X Heavy Duty Cables:
a) Letters used in Type Designations:
A= Appearing as a first letter denotes Aluminum Conductor.
Y= TROPODUR (PVC) Insulation or TROPODUR (PVC) Sheath depending on the position in which
it appears.
2X= TROPOTHEN X (Cross linked Polyethylene) Insulation.
W= Round Steel Wire Armoring.
WW= Double Round Steel Wire Armoring.
F= Formed Steel Wire (Strip) Armoring.
FF= Double Round Steel Wire (Strip) Armoring.
C= Metallic Screening (Usually of Copper).
CE= Metallic Screening (Usually of Copper) over each individual core.
Gb= Holding Helix Tape (of steel)
Wa= Aluminum Round Wire & Aluminum Formed Wire (Strip) Fa Armoring.
