Type P power cable 1C for Marine, Offshore, Mining and Tunneling Projects
Type P power cable 1C is specified for marine and offshore power distribution. This page covers Type P Power Cable 600V / 0.6/1kV and 2000V 1C Unarmored, with 600V / 0.6/1kV and 2000V rating, 18 AWG to 1111 MCM size coverage, and a single conductor, unarmored cable construction for demanding project environments.
Key Features
- Project-grade cable design: Built for offshore platforms, drilling rigs, marine vessels, industrial equipment, mining infrastructure, and tunneling support systems.
- High temperature performance: 125°C continuous conductor operating temperature helps support higher ampacity and dependable service.
- Harsh environment resistance: Designed for resistance to oil, abrasion, moisture, vibration, sunlight, crush, impact, and common offshore installation stress.
- Cold performance: Reference cold bend performance down to -40°C and cold impact performance down to -35°C for low-temperature handling requirements.
- Single conductor design: Suitable for large power feeder and equipment connection requirements.

FAQ
What is Type P power cable 1C used for?
Type P power cable 1C is used in marine, offshore, mining, tunneling, and drilling environments where cable performance must combine electrical reliability with resistance to oil, moisture, abrasion, sunlight, and installation stress.
Can this cable be supplied for project-specific requirements?
Yes. Tebaoflex can review voltage, core count, conductor size, shielding, armor, jacket, marking, packing, and documentation requirements before quotation.
Is an armored version available?
Armored and sheathed constructions are available for product families that require additional mechanical protection. Unarmored versions are also available where flexibility and routing space are the main selection factors.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Please share voltage, conductor size, core count, cable length, installation method, movement duty, required standards, operating environment, and target delivery schedule.
