Key Features
Aluminum Alloy 8000 Series
Engineered with high-strength 8000 series aluminum alloy conductors, this cable combines lightweight construction with enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.Flat Concentric Construction
The cable features a flat profile with a concentric-lay-stranded neutral conductor surrounding the insulated phase conductor. This design ensures efficient load distribution and ease of installation in residential and commercial service connections.ASTM Compliant
Designed and tested in accordance with ASTM B801, which governs concentric-lay-stranded conductors made from 8000 series aluminum alloys, ensuring consistent quality and performance.Thermal Performance
Rated for continuous operation at 90°C in dry or wet locations. Capable of safely operating at up to 600V, making it suitable for low-voltage power distribution systems.
Applications
Service Entrance Cable
Ideal for delivering electricity from utility poles or underground networks to residential or commercial meter panels.Feeder Cable
Used to connect meter panels to interior distribution boards.Direct Burial
Designed for direct burial in the ground without requiring conduit, with excellent resistance to moisture and corrosion.Indoor/Outdoor Use
Suitable for use in dry and wet locations, making it versatile for both overhead and underground applications.
