We have extended our broad product portfolio further by releasing our Neutral Screen (NS) family.  The range has been released in response to strong demand by the industry and supplies the mains power to a variety of domestic and commercial end-use applications.

The NSU and NSUX series are suitable for direct burial underground as per AS/NZS 4961; offering a 3.2mm thick, special polyvinyl chloride (SPVC) outer sheath.

The NSU series’ copper conductors are insulated with SPVC, providing a flexible material for electrical and physical protection. This insulating SPVC material is UV stabilised, offering further durability to withstand outdoor environmental conditions.

The NSUX series’ copper conductors are insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), reducing the overall diameter of the cable.

If you are looking for a high performing power cable that makes it quick, easy and economical to connect AC variable speed drives in fixed applications, give us a call at Firstflex because we have just added the KSXCY Series to our VSD cable range.

Designed as an alternative to Kleenscreen, the new the KSXCY Series has the added advantage of class 5 stranded conductors, giving the cable more flexibility when you need to bend and manoeuvre it into position for termination. The KSXCY Series is also designed to ensure a high level of RFI and EMI protection for VSD installations through the use of a 30 percent overlapped copper tape screen to complement the split interstitial earth cores (6 mm² and above).
