XHIOV & LXHIOV Cables

XHIOV and LXHIOV cables are PVC sheathed , with copper wire screening and with copper (XHIOV) or aluminium (LXHIOV) 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 XHIOV & LXHIOV cables are also available with copper tape screening (XHIV) and with additional mechanical protection from aluminium or steel wire armouring (XHIORV). PE sheathing equivalent cables including the XHIOE & LXHIOE are also available within the range.

These MV cables are designed for power transmission and distribution, supporting both grid networks and industrial equipment. They are suitable for both direct burial and installation in air. The PVC outer sheathing is flame retardant to IEC 60332-1-2 as well as being UV resistant, so the cables can be installed both internally as well as externally.

The XLPE insulation provides for a +90^oC operating temperature. Where additional protection from water ingress is required, perhaps as a result of sitting in waterlogged ducts, single (be) and dual (cbe) layers of waterblocking tape and yarns can be included in the construction.

Where support is required, either in Portuguese language or in order to cross-reference these cables to other naming conventions to provide parity, please speak to our international team who will be happy to support the enquiry.
