What advantages does the unscreened design offer for specific installations?


The unscreened design facilitates ease of installation in fixed applications where flexibility is paramount, making it ideal for cramped or complex spaces. This feature allows for quick routing and installation without compromising the cable's integrity.

What are the implications of operating within the specified temperature range?


The cable operates efficiently within a range from -40°C to +80°C, making it suitable for both extreme cold and heat scenarios commonly found in industrial and mechanical environments, thus ensuring long-lasting performance.

How does the flame retardant feature enhance safety on site?


The flame retardant characteristics of the cable reduce the risk of fire spread, which is crucial in environments where high-risk machinery operates, contributing to safer installations and compliance with safety regulations.

Note

YY cable is not suitable for fixed wiring applications requiring compliance with the requirements set out in BS7671.
