MCMK Cable

Application

These PVC sheathed cables are widely used across the Finnish construction market being suitable for use in both fixed indoor and outdoor installations. They are also suitable for installation underground and in building structures, including directly into concrete. MCMK cables are not suitable for use in installations subject to severe electrical interference - in these instances a cable with EMC properties such as MCCMK (with additional tinned copper wire braid) would be better suited.
