Application
This is a premium product of electrical wires from Finolex. These cables are ideal for wiring in residential and commercial complexes, high-rise buildings, hotels, hospitals, schools, colleges etc where density of people is high. During a fire these cables not only emit less smoke and toxic hydrochloric acid gas but also retard the spread of fire enabling those trapped inside to escape safely.

Features
Manufactured from bright annealed 99.97% pure bare copper conductors these cables have low conductor resistance resulting in power saving. These wires are insulated with a special grade PVC compound formulated and manufactured in-house. The insulation is far superior in terms of critical oxygen and temperature index as also in light transmission and acid gas generation.
