MV Cable
Type MV-105 Single Conductor Aluminum Cable is a high-performance, medium-voltage cable designed for demanding applications in both wet and dry environments. With 420 mils No Lead Ethylene Propylene Rubber (NL-EPR) 133% insulation level and a helically wrapped copper tape shield, it delivers excellent electrical properties and is suitable for conduit, duct, tray, trough, and direct burial installations. This cable features a rugged PVC jacket with a low coefficient of friction (COF 0.2), allowing for easy installation without lubrication and supporting sidewall pressure up to 1000 lbs./FT.
Its robust construction and compliance with industry standards provide reliable performance and durability for demanding environments. Contact Cablcon today to meet with our team of engineers ready to support you with custom solution designs.
