Flexible cable for fixed installation in low voltaje systems.XLPE/PVC. 90°C. 0,6/1kV
(1,2 kV max).Chilean certificate as type RV-K according to SEC protocol PE N° 2/15.

DESCRIPTION
Applications

Flexible power and control cable for fixed installations. Recommended in loops
demanding extra-flexible cables. To be used especially in industrial buildings and
substations. It can be installed in free air, in ducts or directly buried. It can be installed
submerged in water.
In small sizes, it is used as control cable for the inner part in cabinets.

Construction: Singlecore or multicore copper conductor from 2 to 37 cores.

Conductor: Class 5 flexible copper conductor according to IEC 60228.

STANDARDS
Insulation: Crosslinked Polyethylene (XLPE) with excellent electrical properties, good
resistance to ozone and chemical agents. Cores identification by colors or printed International IEC 60228;
numbers. IEC 60332-1; IEC 60502-1

Oversheath: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), flame retardant, resistant to weather and UV

radiation. Color upon request.

Marking: MADECO MULTI-FLEX SERIE 2 RV-K "size" 0.6/1 kV (Um=1,2kV) 90°
