The Copper Concentric Cable is specifically designed for use as a service entrance cable from the utility distribution network to a consumer's meter panel, and as a feeder cable from the meter panel to the distribution board. Its concentric construction enhances security, reduces theft risk, and ensures safe, reliable power delivery in urban and rural installations.
This cable is suitable for use in dry and wet locations, both indoors and outdoors, including direct burial applications. It operates at a rated voltage of 600V or below, with a maximum continuous operating temperature of 90°C.
Applications
Service entrance from pole-mounted distribution to meter panel
Feeder cable from meter panel to distribution board
Ideal for anti-theft installations in residential and commercial zones
Suitable for underground or outdoor use in humid or dry environments
