2491X HR cable is a heat resistant single core PVC insulated cable for fixed wiring and equipment wiring applications.
It is commonly used as hook-up wire in switchgear, control panels, motors, transformers and electrical equipment.
The cable is suitable for installations where higher temperature resistance is required.
Typical applications include internal wiring, protected low voltage circuits, switch cabinets and equipment wiring.
2491X HR cable should be installed where mechanical protection is provided by conduit, trunking, panels or enclosures.
The cable should be selected according to voltage rating, conductor size, conductor class, insulation colour, temperature requirement and project specification.
