Type LSX 1kV Unarmored Single Conductor Marine Power Cable is a single conductor marine power cable for AC power distribution in offshore, shipboard and oilfield installations. Its documented design uses flexible tinned copper and cross-linked polyolefin materials; the armored version adds metallic braid protection and a low-smoke zero-halogen sheath.
Applications
Use this Type LSX 1kV Unarmored Single Conductor Marine Power Cable where a flexible single-core power connection is required for offshore facilities, marine vessels, oilfield equipment or offshore wind support systems. Confirm conductor size, installation method, ambient temperature and project approvals before selection.
