FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

How does 3XSW / 3XSOW differ from 2XSW / 2XSOW?
The leading '3' designates Class 3 extra-hard-usage construction with heavier radial insulation and outer jacket wall thickness, giving 3XSW and 3XSOW substantially higher crush, cut-through, and abrasion resistance on heavy construction sites, shipyards, and quarry floors. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
What is the difference between Type 3XSW and Type 3XSOW?
Both feature +90 °C cross-linked elastomer ('XS') insulation and a weather- and water-resistant ('W') extra-heavy jacket, while Type 3XSOW additionally uses an oil-resistant ('O') chlorinated/polychloroprene outer compound for diesel, hydraulic fluid, and cutting-oil exposure. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
Can 3XSOW be used on motorized cable reels and temporary generator distribution?
Yes, 3XSOW is widely deployed for temporary 600 V power feeders from mobile diesel generators and on motorized cable reels feeding dockside magnets, gantry cranes, and mobile crushers. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
What size range is available in 3XSW and 3XSOW?
Standard production covers 14 AWG (2.5 mm²) through 1/0 and 2/0 AWG (50–70 mm²) in 3-, 4-, and 5-core power configurations. Each production drum undergoes routine dielectric voltage testing, conductor DC resistance verification, and dimensional inspection before dispatch with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate.
