PowrNet® Underground Network Cable (US)

PowrNet® 600 V Underground Network Cable
Product description

PowerNet® 600 V network cables consist of a Class B compressed copper conductor, covered with EAM insulation and a black Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen (LSZH), flame-retardant, lead-free thermoset jacket. All cables are manufactured and tested in accordance with ANSI/NEMA WC70/ICEA S-95-658. 

 

Product Construction

Conductors: Class B compressed copper meeting the requirements of ASTM B8. 

Insulation/Jacket: The extruded thermoset, flame-retardant EAM insulation meets the requirements of an EPR Type II (Class E-2) insulation of ANSI/NEMA WC70/ICEA S-95-658. The extruded thermoset black jacket is a Type II Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen (LSZH), flame-retardant, lead-free thermoset polyolefin and meets the requirements of ANSI/NEMA WC70/ ICEA S-95-658. 

 

Features and Benefits

PowrNet 600 V network cable was developed for use in congested urban networks (particularly in duct systems) where high-reliability, easy-to-install, low-smoke-and-fume cables are required. This unique cable design provides the advantages of track resistance, low smoke, and reduced gas evolution in the event of a fire. These installed performance features are complemented by excellent abrasion and tear resistance, coupled with a low coefficient of friction, which enables easy pulling into existing duct systems. PowrNet is rated at 600 V and has a wet- and dry-conductor operating temperature rating of 90°C. 

 

Applications

PowerNet cable was engineered for use in congested urban secondary network ducts and buried systems in wet or dry locations where maximum reliability, ease of installation, and low-smoke cables are required.
