Mineral insulated cable is a cable with highly flame retardant minerals. This type of cable is also called MICC or MI cable. Mineral insulated cable is also a type of cable using inorganic insulation materials. The outer layer of the cable is a seamless copper jacket. Between the cable sheath and the metal conductor there is a tightly compacted insulating layer of magnesium oxide. The metallic conductor is usually copper, and suitable protection can also be chosen according to the requirements for the outer layer of the cable.

Mineral insulation cable, also known as MI cable. These cables use copper, which has high electrical conductivity, as a conductor. A seamless copper tube envelops the conductive copper core. It uses oxidized magnesia powder as an inorganic insulating material to insulate the conductor and sheath. An additional layer of protection can be chosen as required for the outer layer of the cable. For example, when used in environments corrosive to copper, a layer of anti-corrosion outer coating can be added to the outer layer of the cable. Mineral insulated cables have the advantages of being flame retardant, waterproof and explosion-proof, incombustible, smokeless, non-toxic and fire resistant.
