Round cable type RD 8-ALU 5021286

Product features

• High quality
• Aluminum cable for electrical installations and lightning protection

Round cable RD 8-ALU is a reliable solution for conducting electrical installations and lightning protection systems. Made of high-quality aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy, it provides good conductivity and corrosion resistance. The cable is particularly recommended for applications where flexibility and ease of installation are required.

Construction and application

The RD 8-ALU cable is characterized by a single core with a cross-section of 50 mm² and a diameter of 8 mm. The core material – aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy – provides it with semi-hardness, which facilitates the routing and shaping of the cable. It complies with DIN EN 62561-2 (VDE 0185-561-2) and VDE 0185-305 (IEC 62305) standards, which guarantees its safety and reliability. This cable is used in electrical installations in residential, commercial and industrial buildings, as well as a component of lightning protection systems. It should be remembered that AL and ALMgSi cables should not be laid directly on, in or under plaster, mortar, concrete or in the ground.

Key features and benefits

• High conductivity: Aluminum ensures efficient transmission of electrical energy.
• Corrosion resistance: The aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy protects against the effects of atmospheric and environmental factors.
• Flexibility: The semi-hard core makes it easier to route and shape the cable during installation.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of DIN EN 62561-2 and VDE 0185-305 (IEC 62305) standards, guaranteeing safety of use.
• Versatile application: Ideal for both electrical installations and lightning protection systems.
• Lightweight: Compared to copper counterparts, the aluminum cable is lighter, which facilitates its installation and transport.
• Length per reel: Available in reels of 150 meters, which optimizes the investment process.
• Weight: Approximately 13.5 kg per 100 meters of cable – important information when planning project logistics.
