XLPE Armoured & Unarmoured Cable

OCI Low Tension (LT) cables with XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation are crafted for reliable power transmission and distribution up to 1.1 kV. Designed to meet the demands of residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, these cables combine strength, safety, and durability. The advanced XLPE insulation provides superior thermal stability, electrical performance, and resistance to harsh environments, making OCI cables a trusted choice for modern infrastructure.
