UNE21123 Cable

There are a number of sub-sections to UNE 21123 standard covering variations on the cable insulation and sheathing material combinations. Beyond this, the cable construction can include mechanical protection from Steel wire armour (for multicore cables).

UNE 21123-1	PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) insulated and sheathed
UNE 21123-2	XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) insulated and PVC sheathed
UNE 21123-3	EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) insulated and PVC sheathed
UNE 21123-4	XLPE insulated and Polyolefin sheathed
UNE 21123-5	EPR insulated and Polyolefin sheathed

Designed for transmission, distribution & power networks, the PVC sheathed cables are well-suited to external installations, whilst the LSZH Polyolefin sheathing may be better suited to internal applications, particularly where protection for life and equipment is required. Cables manufactured in accordance with UNE 21123 are general wiring cables, however the different sub-sections of this standard ensures their suitability for different industries. For example, Part 5 is used widely within the Oil & Gas industry. 

Eland Cables supplies a comprehensive range of specialist and general wiring cables, including the UNE 21123 RZ1MZ1-K cable - a cable that is increasingly named in specifications across Europe. Specification support information for quotation can be provided in Spanish where required.
