UL/EN Power DC String Cable

The BETAflam Solar 125 flex UL/EN manufactured by Leoni is a flame-retardant, halogen free, waterproof module and string cable. This solar cable, tested and certified according to EN50618 and UL 4703 (2000V), is also characterized by its durability (> 25 years) and its resistance to the effects of ozone, UV and hydrolysis.

ETAflam Solar is also suitable for direct burial and can withstand high temperatures due to high quality, temperature stable and electron-beam cross linked polymer which is double insulated for photovoltaic power applications.

BETAflam Solar 125 flex UL/EN is one of the few certified photovoltaic power cables on the market which are best for floating solar systems.
