U1000 RVFV-XAV Cable

What is U-1000 RVFV Cable?

U-1000 RVFV-XAV Cable is a 0.6/1kV low-voltage armoured copper power cable produced in accordance with French national standard NF C 32-322 and flame propagation standard NF C 32-070 C2. It is engineered to deliver reliable electrical power across utility networks and industrial installations where mechanical hazards, soil pressure, and environmental stresses are present.

The cable structure features solid or stranded copper conductors insulated with thermally stable Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE), encapsulated within an inner PVC sheath, protected by a double steel tape armouring layer, and jacketed in a flame-retardant black PVC outer sheath. The dual steel tape shield forms a continuous physical barrier against ground compaction and crushing forces, allowing safe installation directly underground without extra mechanical ducting.

U-1000 RVFV Cable Construction

Conductor

1.5mm² to 4mm²: Class 1 solid copper conductor (Class 2 stranded available on request); 6mm² and above: Class 2 stranded copper conductor per IEC 60228.

Insulation

XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) rated for high thermal operating capacity up to +90°C.

Inner Sheath

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) compound forming an extruded bed over the laid-up core assembly.

Armour Layer

Two helically wrapped steel tapes providing full circumferential mechanical crushing protection.

Outer Sheath

Flame-retardant black PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) compound (other colours available on request).

Core Identification

2 core: Blue, Brown; 3 core: Black, Brown, Grey; 3 core including earth: Blue, Brown, Green/Yellow; 5 core: Blue, Brown, Black, Grey, Black.

Sheath Colour

Black.

Applications

U-1000 RVFV-XAV power cable is specifically designed for fixed low-voltage power distribution in civil, industrial, and municipal infrastructure where high resistance to mechanical impacts and crushing forces is mandatory. Thanks to its double steel tape armor, it can be laid directly into underground soil backfills without the expense of laying concrete trenches or protective conduits.

Beyond subterranean direct burial, this cable is extensively deployed along industrial cable trays, open ventilation channels, subterranean concrete ducts, and transformer substations. Its wide thermal spectrum (-10°C to +90°C) and flame-retardant outer sheath make it well-suited for heavy industrial plants, commercial complexes, and municipal utility networks subject to rigorous physical and thermal demands.
