PCM Cables

Description: The PCM Cables in standard conductor dimensions 0.63 mm & 0.90 mm are polyethene
insulated dry core/jelly filled construction with an aluminium polylaminate to physically separate the
core into two compartments. The cable is wrapped with polyester tape and a polyal tape with LDPE
sheath. The cables are manufactured in both unarmoured and armoured constructions.
