EXGB
Belgian NBN copper halogen-free outdoor cable, Cca, 0.6/1 kV
EXGB is the halogen-free outdoor cable for 0.6/1 kV: LSZH fire safety in a black sheath for outdoor use and CPR class Cca-s1,d2,a1. For outdoor distribution and ground ducts. Supplied to order; the lead time is stated in the quote.
EXGB is the copper, halogen-free, outdoor version of the Belgian XGB cable to NBN HD 603-5A for 0.6/1 kV power and distribution circuits. The copper conductors are insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), assembled with a halogen-free (LSZH) bedding and protected by a black, halogen-free, low-smoke (LSZH) outer sheath. EXGB combines the fire safety of a halogen-free cable (no corrosive halogen gases and very little smoke) with a black sheath for outdoor use. It is used for service connections, yard and site distribution and feeders, outdoors and in ground ducts. Its reaction-to-fire performance is CPR class Cca-s1,d2,a1. The aluminium equivalent is EAXeGB; the standard indoor halogen-free cable is XGB (NBN HD 604-5-L).
Also known as: halogen-free outdoor cable
Applications

EXGB or EXVB?
EXGB
- LSZH bedding and sheath
- CPR class Cca-s1,d2,a1
EXVB
- PVC bedding and sheath
- CPR class Eca
EXGB and EXVB are both Belgian outdoor cables with XLPE cores and a black sheath. EXGB has a bedding and sheath of halogen-free, low-smoke material (LSZH) and CPR class Cca-s1,d2,a1. EXVB has PVC and class Eca. Choose EXGB where halogen-free and low smoke matter or a higher fire class is required; otherwise EXVB will do.

EXGB
- copper conductors
EAXeGB
- aluminium conductors
Both are halogen-free Belgian cables for 0.6/1 kV with XLPE insulation and CPR class Cca-s1,d2,a1. EXGB has copper conductors. EAXeGB has aluminium conductors and a water blocking tape that makes the cable longitudinally watertight. Aluminium is lighter and more economical, but needs bimetallic lugs or terminals approved for aluminium; for heavy supplies choose EAXeGB, for smaller cross-sections EXGB.
