The RR Kabel Solar Cable is a premium single-core photovoltaic cable engineered for use in solar PV power systems across the UAE and GCC — where extreme UV exposure, high ambient temperatures, and demanding outdoor conditions are the norm. Adapted to PV systems per 2 Pfg 1169 / 08.2007 and EN 50618:2015 and TÜV Rheinland certified (ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001), this cable is designed for free hanging, movable, fixed installation, and direct burial in ground in constructional covered systems. Suitable for indoor, outdoor, hazard explosion areas, industrial use, and agriculture, it is also rated for applications requiring protective insulation of Class 2. The fine wire tinned copper conductor (BS EN 60228:2005 Class 5) ensures excellent conductivity and flexibility, while the UV-resistant, cross-linkable, halogen-free, flame-retardant XLPE compound insulation and outer sheath deliver long-term durability in harsh solar environments. With a DC voltage rating up to 2.0kV possible and an AC voltage rating of 0.6/1.0kV, this cable meets the full electrical demands of modern PV installations. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C (stationary/in motion) up to +90°C continuous, with 120°C permissible for up to 20,000 hours, ensuring a 30-year service life. REACH, RoHS, and CE certified. Comes in Black, Red, or Natural (core identification) insulation colours.
