XHIOE and LXHIOE Cables

XHIOE and LXHIOE cables are PE sheathed , with copper wire screening and with copper (XHIOE) or aluminium (LXHIOE) conductors at their core. These cables are named using Portuguese references as explained in the table below. It should be noted that under HD620 10L, there is only one option for insulation materials: XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) - hence it not being separately designated.

The robust, abrasion resistant Polyethylene sheathing is suited to external installations and the cables are screened with copper wires to limit localised EMC interference. The XLPE insulation provides an upper operating temperature of +90^oC.

For damp and wet installation environments where the cables may occasionally be sat in water, these cables are available with additional waterblocking layers - single layer XHIOE(be) and LXHIOE(be) and dual layer including tape over the conductor XHIOE(cbe) and LXHIOE(cbe).

The technical datasheets linked below can be downloaded for use. Where additional information beyond the dimensional data and electrical characteristics listed is required, please contact the team who will be able to provide you with this.

This construction is also available with PVC sheathing as an alternative - XHIOV & LXHIOV - or with a copper tape screen instead of copper wires - XHIE & LXHIE.
