Application

1. Buildings and industry
Interior electrical distribution of buildings : Fixed installation on walls, in cable trays or conduits.
Connection of industrial equipment : Power supply of machines and control devices.

2. Electrical networks
Low voltage distribution of urban networks : Use in areas requiring protection against mechanical damage.
Connection to transformer stations and electrical user terminals.

3. Specific environments
Direct buried installation : Must be accompanied by mechanical protection (gaines, conduits) to avoid water infiltration or the risk of frequent flooding.
Dry or humid environments : Suitable for indoor and outdoor installations without strong mechanical constraints.

4. Transport and public infrastructure
Low voltage power supply for signaling systems, metros and other transport infrastructure.

Key Points

Usage constraints : Avoid in environments subject to significant mechanical traction or prolonged immersion. Additional protection is necessary for direct buried installation.

Recommended alternative : In case of need for reinforced mechanical protection, the ARVFV cable with double steel strip armor is a more suitable solution.
