ASB

ASB is a marking that denotes a cable with aluminum conductors, armor, and PVC insulation. The ASB cable is a reliable solution for use in challenging conditions, providing mechanical protection and durability due to its armor and PVC insulation. Construction of the ASB Cable A — Aluminum conductors: Aluminum is used to reduce the cost and weight of the cable, although its conductivity is lower than that of copper. S — Armored: The cable is equipped with armor, typically made of steel tape or wire, providing additional protection against mechanical damage. B — PVC insulation and sheath: Conductors are insulated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and there is an additional PVC sheath for protection. Applications The ASB cable is used in the following fields: Power: Used for transmitting electricity in distribution systems, especially in conditions requiring additional protection against mechanical damage. Industry: Suitable for installation in industrial facilities and production areas where mechanical loads and exposure to aggressive environments are possible. External wiring: Used for external wiring and installation in conditions where the cable may be exposed to physical impact or mechanical damage. Advantages Mechanical protection: The armor provides protection against mechanical damage and external impacts such as shocks and pressure. Durability: PVC insulation and sheath extend the cable's service life, protecting it from moisture, chemicals, and mechanical damage. Cost-effectiveness: Aluminum conductors are cheaper than copper, making the cable more affordable.
