Product Description
Overview
The KUPO KCWPVC5x5.5 Power Cable is a multi-core CSA construction for power distribution jobs that need several conductors protected inside one jacket. Fine-stranded copper keeps the cable workable, while PVC insulation and a durable PVC outer sheath help the cable seat cleanly into glands and stay consistent through repeated handling.
Why It Matters
The 5-core 5.5 mm² version gives the most conductor count in this smaller CSA group, useful when one jacket must carry a fuller distribution set. Multi-core construction keeps related conductors together, which can make drop-box feeds, distribution runs, and fixed routes cleaner than building the same path from separate single-core lines.
Key Features
- 5.5 mm² x 5 C multi-core CSA construction
- Approximate ampacity of 32 A with maximum resistance of 6.10 Ohm/km at 20 °C
- PVC insulation and PVC outer sheath with 1.00 mm jacket thickness
- 16.5 mm outer diameter for routing and gland planning
- Rated 600 V with a 60 °C temperature rating
Applications
KCWPVC5x5.5 is suited to distribution feeders, drop boxes, fixed runs, temporary venue builds, and industrial or event cable systems where a jacketed, color-coded multi-conductor power cable is preferred.
Compatibility
Use KCWPVC5x5.5 with properly rated distribution equipment, connectors, cable glands, strain relief, and protection sized for a 16.5 mm outer diameter and a 5.5 mm² x 5 C conductor layout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is KCWPVC5x5.5 a multi-core cable?
Yes. It is a multi-core CSA cable with a 5.5 mm² x 5 C conductor layout.
When would I choose multi-core instead of single-core?
Choose multi-core when related conductors need to travel together in one jacket, such as distribution feeders, drop boxes, or fixed cable routes.
What does the 16.5 mm outer diameter affect?
It affects gland selection, routing space, bend planning, and which cable protection or crossover product will fit the run.
