Many harmful chemicals around us such as alkali cleaner.

PVC insulated PVC sheathed cable is commonly used for the power line of household appliances.  Armoured Cable is commonly used for underground cable.

  • Weather 

There are insulated cables explicitly made to perform in high temperatures up to 90°C and those best suited for very cold temperatures. XLPE insulated Cables also known as Cross-linked polyethylene, are perfect for these types of applications. Additionally, insulated wire offers protection against wetness. 

  • Flexibility 

If a cable is going to be bent frequently, it must have proper insulation to give it freedom of motion. If not, the wire will not last. Simsheng Cable use Class 5 Bare Copper  as conductor, and it is called Flexible Cable.

  • Pressure

It’s no secret that wires are also commonly used underground. There can be an incredible amount of pressure on the wire from the weight of the earth above it. To maintain maximum performance, wires cannot succumb to being crushed. 

XLPE insulated PVC sheathed armoured Cable provide outstanding resistance to crushing and pressure. The wire insulation is a high molecular weight polyethylene material protecting our copper cables.
