PVC Insulation Layer: General-purpose rigid polyvinyl chloride material, with a long-term allowable continuous operating temperature of 70℃, and stable insulation performance under normal indoor ambient temperatures.

Inner Filler: Low-water-absorption environmentally friendly fiber filler, optimizing cable roundness and reducing internal gaps in multi-core finished cables.

Outer Sheath: Weather-resistant modified PVC compound, applicable ambient temperature range: -25℃～+70℃, possessing basic anti-aging, moisture-proof, and mild chemical corrosion resistance.

2.3 Core Electrical Factory Testing Standards

Rated Voltage: 0.6/1kV

Standard Factory Power Frequency Withstand Voltage Test: 3.5kV, 5 minutes without insulation breakdown

Rated Design Service: 28 years under standard laying and rated load operating conditions

3. Six Core Product Functional Advantages

3.1 Stable Copper Core Conductivity

The resistivity of the high-purity copper core conductor is lower than that of aluminum core ultra-low voltage cables, resulting in less voltage drop during long-distance power transmission and ensuring stable terminal voltage for end-user equipment.

3.2 Mature Integrated PVC Extrusion Structure

The double-layer PVC extrusion molding process ensures a tight fit between the insulation layer and the outer sheath, preventing moisture penetration in humid indoor trench environments.

3.3 Excellent Concealed Installation Adaptability

The finished cable has moderate rigidity, facilitating cable threading into wall-embedded conduits and indoor concealed installation. The sheath is less prone to breakage during manual traction installation.

3.4 Wide Range of Universal Environmental Compatibility

Suitable for various laying environments such as indoor enclosed pipes, ordinary cable trenches, semi-shallow burial, and outdoor overhead conduits, meeting most conventional non-special corrosive engineering conditions.

3.5 Comprehensive Specification Coverage

Covering a full range of cross-sections and core wire combinations, providing one-stop specification matching to meet the needs of various power loads, from small household lighting to medium-sized equipment power supply.

3.6 Stable Cost Control Advantage

Compared to YJV series cables with cross-linked polyethylene insulation, raw material costs are more moderate; compared to various fire-resistant NH series cables, bulk purchases of ordinary non-fireproof circuits offer a significant price advantage.

4. Five Major Industry Sectors + Detailed Application Scenarios

4.1 General Residential Buildings

Application Scenarios: Ordinary household power lines, residential public corridor lighting circuits, auxiliary power supply for non-fireproof equipment in basements of low-rise and mid-rise residential buildings.

4.2 Small and Medium-Sized Light Industrial Parks

Application Scenarios: Power supply for commonly used production equipment in garment factories, small food workshops, and hardware factories; lighting distribution lines for public areas in workshops.

4.3 Municipal Public Infrastructure

Application Scenarios: Power supply for urban community garden landscapes, underground wiring for ordinary community streetlights, and power distribution projects for urban public toilets and small parks.

4.4 Commercial Small Business Premises

Application Scenarios: Main power supply lines and branch power distribution lines for chain convenience stores, restaurants, and small supermarkets.

4.5 Overseas Low-to-Medium Standard Civil Infrastructure

Application Scenarios: Power grid upgrades for self-built residential buildings in Southeast Asia and South Asia; standard power layouts for small commercial buildings (targeting local overseas civil engineering contractors).

5. Engineer Expertise: Design matching rules and on-site laying technical specifications

Load Selection Principles: For the same cross-section, copper core VV cables have a higher current carrying capacity than aluminum core VLV cables. Please refer to national current carrying capacity tables and determine the cable specification based on the actual load power. Our technical team can provide customized current carrying capacity reference tables free of charge according to the laying method.

Environmental Contraindications: Not suitable for high-temperature dense cable shafts, dedicated fire emergency circuits, and underground soils with strong acid and alkali corrosion. For circuits requiring high temperatures or fire protection specifications, YJV or NH series products are recommended.

Construction Bending Standards: Minimum bending radius ≥ 10 times the outer diameter of the finished cable; avoid scratching the outer sheath during conduit laying.

6. Dedicated Services for Buyers: Order Confirmation Standards and Budget Optimization Suggestions

Scientific Model Selection: Clearly distinguish circuit attributes; select standard VV type cables for general power circuits to save investment; select fire-resistant or XLPE insulated alternatives for fire-resistant and high-temperature operating circuits.

Phase-Based Delivery Coordination: For projects constructed in batches, support phased delivery according to the construction progress, reducing the buyer's on-site warehouse rental and factory occupancy costs.

Customized Upgrade Options: For long-term outdoor laying projects, upgrades to UV-resistant modified outer sheaths can be made before ordering.

Standard Certification and Global Project Compliance Advantages

All finished VV cables undergo full-type inspection according to GB standards and routine factory testing, and complete third-party product inspection reports are available. Products comply with domestic civil engineering acceptance standards and the standard power construction access regulations of several developing countries. All certification documents can be compiled into a complete tender document package, assisting buyers in successfully passing the qualification review for domestic government small-scale tenders and overseas small-scale EPC projects.

Three Real-World Engineering Case Studies:

Case 1: Centralized Power Supply Upgrade Project for Residential Residential Buildings in Myanmar (2025)

A local overseas engineering contractor procured 68 kilometers of mixed-specification VV 0.6/1kV multi-core cable for centralized power supply to town residents. The price was reasonable, the specifications were complete, and it met the project budget. All products passed the local power department's acceptance, and subsequent annual procurement cooperation was reached.

Case 2: Upgraded Supporting Power Supply Project for County Communities in China (2024)

The local urban construction management department centrally procured 52 kilometers of VV cable for the public power supply layout of newly built residential areas. The cable's conductivity was stable, ensuring daily power supply to the community, and the project was completed ahead of schedule.

Case 3: Auxiliary Power Distribution Project for a Comprehensive Small Industrial Park in China (2024)

The industrial park developer procured 37 kilometers of VV cable of different specifications for the conventional power supply lines of several small factories. The specifications were complete, shortening the construction and procurement cycle, and the on-site wiring construction was completed smoothly.
