AS/NZS Cable Orange Circular O/C For Construction

What is orange cable used for

Orange circular electrical wires is a type of electrical cable that is commonly used for power transmission and distribution in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. It is called "circular" because it has a circular cross-section, which makes it easy to install and handle.

The orange color of the cable is usually used to indicate that it is a high voltage cable, typically rated at 600/1000 volts or more. This makes it suitable for use in applications that require high levels of electrical power, such as heavy machinery, large motors, and industrial equipment.
The cable wire is made up of a number of PVC insulated conductors that are twisted together to form a single cable cooper wires. The insulation is usually made of PVC or XLPE, which provides excellent electrical insulation and protection against moisture, chemicals, and other environmental factors.
Orange cable circular is available in a range of sizes and configurations to suit different applications. It can be used for both indoor and outdoor installations, and is often used in underground and overhead power distribution systems.

Overall, orange circular cable is a reliable and durable option for power transmission and distribution, and is widely used in a variety of industries and applications.And more types
