ZC-VV22 Flame Retardant Power Cable Copper Core Armored Wire

When a project requires affordable PVC power cables but cannot compromise on flame retardancy and line protection, the ZC-VV22 is a practical and compliant solution. It combines copper conductors, PVC insulation + PVC sheath, and steel tape armor (22), and features a ZC flame retardant rating to help slow the spread of flame along the cable path.

The ZC-VV22 is designed for fixed installations and is suitable for situations requiring armored PVC cables to support safer indoor/underground wiring and tight project cost controls.

Why ZC-VV22 is a Wise Buying Choice (A New Sales Logic)

ZC Flame Retardant Design for Safer Cable Paths

The ZC flame retardant rating helps reduce the spread of flame along the cable path, supporting safer operation in cable trays, shafts, and narrow passages.

Steel Tape Armor for Effective Compression Resistance

The "22" type armor structure enhances resistance to external forces, making it particularly suitable for trenches, conduit systems, and other areas with high mechanical stress.

Copper conductors ensure reliable power distribution.

Copper conductors ensure stable current transmission and predictable performance in low-voltage distribution networks.

PVC construction facilitates cost-effective standard projects.

PVC insulation and sheathing provide practical protection while maintaining competitive overall costs in high-volume projects.

Easy specification for contractors and distributors.

This construction is widely used in projects requiring PVC + armored + flame retardant properties, simplifying tender matching and repeat ordering processes.

Typical applications (from different angles):

Building power distribution systems requiring flame-retardant PVC cables.

Cable trays, risers, shafts, and equipment rooms.

Underground protected wiring: conduits and trenches.

Industrial facilities and workshops (fixed installations).

Commercial infrastructure projects with high cable demand.

Project tip: If your project requires Low Smoke Halogen-Free (LSZH) performance, choose LSZH cables instead of PVC cables.

When to Choose ZC-VV22 (Quick Buying Guide)

Choose ZC-VV22 if you need the following:

PVC power cables for cost control and meeting flame retardant requirements

Additional mechanical protection for duct/trench wiring

Fixed installation cables for trays/shafts, especially suitable for applications requiring flame spread control

Volume purchases for commercial/industrial projects

If your project requires low-smoke/halogen-free cables, consider the LSZH series cables.

Frequently Asked Questions (New Questions, New Perspectives)

Question 1: What does ZC-VV22 mean?

It generally indicates ZC flame-retardant PVC power cable (VV) with steel tape armor (22) for enhanced mechanical protection.

Q2: What is the difference between ZC-VV22 and VV22?

ZC-VV22 has flame-retardant properties, while standard VV22 may not meet the same flame-retardant requirements.

Q3: Is ZC-VV22 suitable for underground installation?

It is typically used in underground pipes and trenches. Whether it is suitable for direct burial depends on local requirements and wiring design.

Q4: Why choose PVC instead of XLPE?

PVC is usually chosen for cost control and standard operating conditions. For higher operating temperature requirements, XLPE type can be considered.

Q5: Does steel strip armor increase stiffness?

Yes. Armoring improves protection but also increases stiffness and weight—appropriate bending radius and installation method are recommended.

Q6: Can you provide project documentation and batch traceability information?

Yes. General documentation.
