TT Cables AXMK 5X16 RE Aluminum Power Cable, 5-Core, 500 m

The TT Cables AXMK 5X16 RE is a robust 5-core aluminum power cable engineered for efficient electrical energy distribution in both industrial and residential environments. With a conductor cross-section of 16 mm², this cable is designed for fixed installations where reliability and consistent performance are essential. The 500-meter length makes it an ideal choice for large-scale infrastructure projects, providing a durable solution for power transmission needs.

Advantages

This aluminum power cable offers a cost-effective alternative to copper conductors while maintaining high standards of electrical conductivity and safety. The durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation provides excellent protection against environmental factors, ensuring a long service life. Its 5-core configuration allows for versatile wiring options in complex power networks, and the hose-shaped design facilitates easier handling and installation in conduits or cable trays.

Suitable for

• Fixed electrical installations in industrial facilities
• Power distribution in residential buildings
• Large-scale infrastructure and construction projects
• Outdoor and indoor power supply networks

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for applications requiring high flexibility or frequent movement, as the solid aluminum conductors are designed for fixed installations only. It is also not suitable for environments where the cable might be subjected to mechanical stress or vibrations that exceed the specifications of rigid power cables.

Key specifications

• Conductor material: Aluminum
• Number of conductors: 5
• Cross-section: 16 mm²
• Insulation material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Cable shape: Hose
• Colour: Black
• Flammability class: Eca
• Length: 500 m

How to use

The cable should be installed by qualified electrical professionals in accordance with local building codes and safety regulations. It is designed for fixed installation, meaning it should be secured in cable trays, conduits, or buried in protected trenches. Ensure that the bending radius is respected during installation to prevent damage to the aluminum conductors and the PVC insulation layer.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 16 mm² cross-section meets the current and voltage requirements of your specific project.
• Ensure the installation environment is compatible with the Eca flammability rating.
• Confirm that the 500-meter length is sufficient for your installation route to minimize the need for joints.
• Check local regulations regarding the use of aluminum conductors in your specific application area.

Usage recommendations

Always use appropriate cable lugs and connectors specifically rated for aluminum conductors to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure a secure electrical connection.
