QUICK ANSWERS
Electrical Cables FAQ’s and Answers
Do you make custom made cables?
Absolutely. With your knowledge and our know-how, we design and build custom cables to meet exact project requirements. Whether that’s a simple modification to an existing product or a fully tailored solution, CCI offers a range of options for customised cables engineered to perform reliably in harsh and demanding environments.
What is the difference between Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSZH) and PVC cables?
LSZH cables emit minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases when exposed to fire, making them ideal for enclosed or high-occupancy environments like buildings, tunnels, and transport systems. PVC cables are cost-effective and widely used but produce more smoke and corrosive gases in fire conditions.
What is the difference between armoured and unarmoured cables?
Armoured cables include a protective layer (usually steel wire armour) for mechanical protection, making them suitable for underground or harsh environments. Unarmoured cables are typically used in protected installations like conduits or cable trays.
What is the difference between copper and aluminium conductors?
Copper offers higher conductivity and durability, making it ideal for most commercial and industrial applications. Aluminium is lighter and more cost-effective for larger installations but requires proper termination techniques.
What standards do your cables comply with?
Our cables are manufactured to meet relevant Philippines, Australian and International standards. We can provide compliance documentation and certifications upon request.
