Robust XLPE Cable for Transportation & Industrial Automation
WDZ-YJY23 armored cable delivers superior performance for
electrical wiring in safety-critical transportation infrastructure
and industrial automation systems.

Four Major Advantages for Safety-Critical Projects
1. LSZH Flame-Retardant System – Fire Safety Without Toxic Gases
WDZ-YJY23 is engineered to reduce harm in case of fire:
- Flame-retardant performance: Self-extinguishes after ignition source removal and prevents flame
propagation
- Halogen-free formulation: No chlorine, bromine, or similar halogen gases released during
burning
- Low smoke output: Maintains higher visibility in escape routes for safer evacuation
- Low corrosive impact: Combustion by-products with mild acidity (pH ≥ 4.3) protect
equipment
2. Double Steel Tape Protection – Built for Direct Burial &
Concealed Installations
For routes demanding mechanical and environmental resilience:
- Enhanced mechanical protection: High resistance to pressure and tearing (up to 1100 N/100 mm)
- Direct burial ready: Can be buried at 0.7 m depths without additional protective ducts
- Rodent and insect defense: Armored structure prevents animal damage during concealed routing
- Ingress protection: IP65 rating provides resistance to dust, water, and mechanical
impact
- Service life: 25+ years of service under normal conditions
3. High-Grade Insulation & Sheath – Stable Electrical Performance
- XLPE Insulation: Continuous working temperature up to 90°C, withstands -40°C
without embrittlement
- PE Sheath: Non-toxic, excellent weathering and UV resistance, maintains
flexibility
- Copper Conductor: High-purity electrolytic copper (99.97% IACS) for low resistance
and heat build-up
4. Standards-Driven & Widely Applicable
Complies with mandatory fire and environmental standards including
GB/T 19666, GB 12666, and GB 50217.
Typical applications: Metro systems, airports, hospitals, data
centers, and industrial sites with halogen-free requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why choose low smoke zero halogen instead of standard
PVC-sheathed cables?
A: LSZH materials greatly reduce smoke output and eliminate halogen
acid gases, making escape routes more visible and limiting toxic
exposure during fires.
Q2: Is WDZ-YJY23 suitable for direct burial?
A: Yes. The double steel tape armoring and polyethylene outer
sheath make it suitable for direct-burial applications when
installed according to engineering codes.
Q3: How does this cable protect sensitive equipment?
A: Halogen-free materials and low corrosive gas production
significantly lower the risk of damage to metallic parts and
electronics during fires.
Q4: Can WDZ-YJY23 be used outdoors?
A: Yes. The PE sheath offers excellent weather and UV resistance
for both indoor and outdoor installations.
Q5: What flame-retardant classes are available?
A: Standard designs target Class B, while higher levels such as
Class A can be provided on request.
Q6: How do I know if WDZ-YJY23 is the right choice?
A: If your project involves crowded spaces, enclosed environments,
or strict fire audits—such as high-rise buildings, public
transportation, or data centers—WDZ-YJY23 is typically a strong
candidate
