application:

Typically used in residential buildings as a shunt for sockets, switches, and other loads. This product conforms to AWM (Equipment Wiring Material) specifications and is also UL (MTW) certified. MTW (Machine Tool Wiring) certification makes it fully suitable for the machine tool industry (not just equipment). It also complies with UL 83 and UL 719 standards.


Features:

1、Its performance is significantly superior to commonly used BV, BV-90, and BVVB type single-layer PVC insulated wires.

2、Especially suitable for use as imported nylon insulation for building electrical wires, it has a bright appearance and excellent thermal stability, mechanical strength, and cold resistance.

3、Surface hardness, flexural strength, impact strength, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, oil resistance, gasoline resistance, and self-lubricating properties.

4、The exterior is bright, making it easy to install in conduits.

5、The cabling is UL (MTW), machine-tool-wire, CSA, and other certifications, complying with both US and Canadian standards, enabling its use in the North American market.
