U-1000 ARVFV cable and U-1000 AR2V cables are cables designed for the French market, and are manufactured in accordance with Norme Français NF C32-321 and NF C32-322 to provide rigid unarmoured power and control to applications. They are suitable for installations compliant with NF C15-100.

The U-1000 designation identifies the cables as having a voltage rating of 600/1000V (0.6/1kV). The cables have a temperature range of -10^oC to +60^oC for the ARVFV and -25^oC to +90^oC for the AR2V.

The U1000 AR2V and ARVFV cables are the aluminium conductor equivalents to our R2V and RVFV cable range and provide the same functionality.

The U-1000 AR2V cable is designed for internal use, being fixed to walls or contained on cable tray or in conduit. In relevant installations this can then be used for direct burial externally. As with the copper version of this cable, it should not be installed without additional protection into waterlogged trenches or areas subject to frequent flood.

The construction of the ARVFV cable includes a double layer of steel tape armour, providing additional mechanical protection.

Quadra construction is based on U1000- AR2V, where these pre-laid-up cables save time and space on installation. Four U-1000 AR2V single-conductor cables of equal cross-section are twisted and bundled, identified by stripes of harmonised colours (3 phases + neutral).

They are suitable for use in low-voltage industrial or commercial installations.

ARVFV cables are available in configurations of 3 cores, 4 cores and 5 cores as standard, in sizes over 10mm², whilst the AR2V is available in sizes 16mm² and above with single core, 4 core and 5 core variants. There are also variants in 3 core cable with reduced earth, starting from 70mm²/35mm².

The accompanying technical datasheets support cable selection, but should additional information be required to tailor to your specific installation parameters, please speak to the team for guidance.
