LXHIE Cable

Description

The LXHIE and LXHIOE cable range supplied by Cleveland Cable Company, comprises medium-voltage power cables featuring Class 2 stranded aluminium conductors, designed for robust industrial power distribution. Manufactured to IEC 60502-2 and IEC 60228 standards, these cables follow Portuguese specifications.

The construction includes XLPE insulation, specialized screening (copper tape for LXHIE, copper wires for LXHIOE), and a durable PE sheath for environmental protection. They are designed for operation between -20°C and +90°C.

Engineered for reliability in power stations and substations, the PE sheath provides robust resistance to abrasion, UV radiation, and environmental stress, making them ideal for utility and heavy industrial use.

These cables are suitable for fixed installation in open-air, trays, or direct burial in free-draining soil, with a minimum bending radius of 15 x diameter. As a leading stockist, Cleveland Cable Company offers these cables for various voltage ratings (3.6/6 kV up to 18/30 kV).
