What is the conductor construction and how does it affect flexibility?
Each conductor is tin-plated copper formed from seven strands, which increases cable flexibility compared with solid conductors and eases routing in confined runs.
How should bend radius be managed during installation?
Maintain a minimum bend radius of 10x the cable diameter to avoid conductor stress and preserve insulation integrity.
What marking and labelling appear on the sheath for identification?
The sheath is printed with manufacturer identification, part number, conductor count and gauge along with applicable temperature and type markings.
What packaging options are offered for site requirements?
The cable is supplied on continuous reels with common lengths including 305 m, 152m and shorter spool options to suit installation scope.
