Different types of cables in the voltage grade 1.1 to 33 kV (E) and (UE) and 45 kV (E) are being used today in Utilities and Industries depending on their mechanical and electrical properties on one hand and economy in using them on the other. Among these, paper cables, ever since their introduction have been enjoying undisputed acceptability. However, the advent of XLPE cables in the late 70's marked the beginning of a gradual but steady replacement of paper cables especially for higher voltage applications.

XLPE cables could command an immediate acceptance resulting from their ease of handling, moisture proof sheathing, easier jointing procedures and ease of maintenance.

The XLPE range of cables offered by Cable Corporation of India Limited (CCI), is known by its brand name TROPOTHEN-X.

This brochure provides details on TROPOTHEN-X cables of 1.1 kV to 45 kV grade manufactured generally as per Indian Standard IS:7098 (Part I) of 1988 and IS:7098 (Part II) of 1985. For export requirements, these cables can be manufactured to IEC, VDE or BS specification.
