c) Polyvinyl Chloride Cables (PVC): They are used for underground and overhead power transmission in power plants, industry and all other electrical installations.


d) PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene): This cable has excellent electrical properties, and due to its heat resistance, it is used in harsh conditions with lower temperatures. The range can vary from +180 degrees Celsius and above to -40 degrees Celsius below.


e) Silicone rubber insulated wire: This cable is used for power generation, transmission and other power utilities. It is the most suitable wire for places where a long service life is required and safety is a concern.


f) Fire Rescue Cables: These are special cables designed to operate during a fire outbreak for a specified time.
