APPLICATION
The cables are designed for areas where the integrity of the
electrical circuit is critical in maintaining power supply.
Applications can be found in emergency lightings, control and power
circuits, power stations, fire alarm systems, underground tunnels,
lifts, escalators, and high-rise buildings.
