These cables are used for outdoor and indoor installations in damp and wet applications. They are normally used for power distribution in urban networks, industrial plants and energy distribution. For mains, submains and subcircuits unenclosed, enclosed in conduit, buried direct or in underground ducts for buildings and industrial plants where not subject to mechanical damage. Suitable where space is at a premium.
