Armored H1Z2Z2-K Solar PV Cable

Steel wire armoring protects this cable family against rodent damage, mechanical impact, and direct burial conditions where standard PV cable sheathing is insufficient. Eight size options from 1.5mm² to 35mm² cover string wiring through large-conductor home runs.

Specify armored cable when the route includes underground sections, exposed runs near machinery, or when local code requires additional mechanical protection. For standard rooftop strings, unarmored H1Z2Z2-K is usually sufficient and lighter to handle.

Steel wire armour provides the mechanical protection required for direct burial or surface-mounted runs in commercial and ground-mount projects. Confirm armour gauge against your mechanical protection classification and burial depth — outer diameter and weight increase cable pulling tension and conduit fill calculations.
