Power cables typically consist of one or more conductors, which are usually made of copper or aluminium. These conductors are surrounded by insulation material, which provides electrical and mechanical protection. The insulation material is usually made of materials like PVC (polyvinyl chloride), XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene), or rubber. The conductors within the power cable can be arranged in different configurations, depending on the intended use and the amount of power that needs to be transmitted.

The majority of materials are suitable for use both indoors and out, including our most popular ones – self-adhesive vinyl, rigid plastic and adhesive rigid plastic.
