Overview

Hongce Cable’s YJV22 8.7/15 kV power cable is designed for fixed medium voltage distribution in utility networks, industrial facilities and infrastructure projects. Combining copper conductors, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, steel tape armour and a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer sheath, it provides a practical cable construction for routes where electrical performance and mechanical protection both matter. Copper Conductors and XLPE Insulation Copper conductors provide the current-carrying path, while XLPE insulation electrically separates the conductors from surrounding cable layers. The 8.7/15 kV designation identifies the rated voltage between conductor and earth, and between conductors, respectively. This helps engineers and buyers match the cable to the electrical requirements of the intended distribution system. Steel Tape Armour for Mechanical Protection Steel tape armour adds a protective layer around the cable assembly, helping it withstand external mechanical stresses associated with suitable fixed installations. The PVC outer sheath covers the armoured construction and provides an additional protective covering. This combination is useful for cable routes where installation conditions call for an armoured design. Steel tape armour is intended for mechanical protection; routes involving substantial tensile loads require separate engineering assessment. Applications and Installation Typical applications include distribution connections serving substations, manufacturing plants, commercial developments and other infrastructure facilities. The cable can be considered for installation in cable trenches, tunnels and suitable underground routes. Direct burial suitability depends on ground conditions, drainage, external loads and applicable installation rules. Route design should account for bending radius, pulling tension and any additional protection required at crossings or exposed sections. Specify the Cable for Your Project When requesting a quotation, provide the required core configuration, conductor cross-sectional area, quantity and installation method. Include the destination country and any project standards, testing or documentation requirements. These details help establish the appropriate cable specification and provide a clear basis for technical review, procurement and installation planning.
