The BlueStorm BS-DC CABLE-6mm2 is a single-core, halogen-free DC cable manufactured to EN 50618 (H1Z2Z2-K) and IEC 62930 for photovoltaic and DC power installations. It combines a Class 5 stranded tinned-copper conductor with cross-linked polyolefin insulation and a red sheath, rated 1500 V DC and rated for -40 C to +90 C operation. UV-, ozone- and weather-resistant, it suits indoor and outdoor use and is supplied in 100 m lengths.
