Select for the cable layer.

Conductivity, UV resistance and flame retardancy call for different carbon materials. Each is selected for its role within the cable construction.

A semiconductive layer, an outer jacket and a flame-retardant compound have different material needs. Conductive carbon black, carbon black masterbatch and expandable graphite serve distinct functions; they are not interchangeable.
