Unlike traditional cable designs, SUPERSEAL features patented self-healing technology that repairs insulation damage, significantly reducing the risk of secondary cable failures. This quick healing process not only prevents corrosion but also restores the cable's normal operation. With SUPERSEAL, you can enjoy outstanding resilience and reliability, setting a new standard in cable performance!

Low Voltage Overhead and Underground Distribution Cable Solutions

PowrNet® cable is specifically designed for use in congested urban networks, especially within duct systems, where high reliability, ease of installation, and low smoke and fume emissions are essential. These cables are suitable for both wet and dry environments, and can be directly buried or installed in ducts. 

PowrNet cables feature a Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen (LSZH) jacket system, which minimizes gas and smoke emissions in the event of a fire. Their track-resistant design reduces the production of combustible gases in harsh environments where salts, oils, and chemicals can cause electrical leakage along the jacket surface. Additionally, the flame-resistant properties of PowrNet cables help to limit flame propagation. 

PowrNet 600 V network cables consist of a Class B compressed, soft-drawn copper conductor, which is covered in EAM insulation, and enclosed in a black, Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant, lead-free thermoset jacket. These cables are rated to withstand a maximum conductor temperature of 90˚C under normal operating conditions. All PowrNet cables are manufactured and tested in accordance with ANSI/NEMA WC70/ICEA S-95-658 standards.

PowrServ® 600 Volt Tri-rated, Lead-free, XLPE-insulated Underground Distribution Cables are available in duplex, triplex, and quadruplex configurations. 

These cables are specifically designed for secondary power distribution circuits and are rated for use in both wet and dry locations. They are resistant to abrasion, impact, and sunlight, and comply with all applicable requirements of ANSI/ICEA Standard S-105-692 and UL Standard 854. PowrServ tri-rated cables are classified as Type USE-2/RHH/RHW-2 and can be installed directly buried or in duct or conduit. 

The cables consist of two or three aluminum alloy phase conductors and one neutral conductor, all insulated with extruded black cross-linked polyethylene. The conductors are made from a compact stranded AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, which is recognized by ASTM Standards B800, B801, and B836. These cables are primarily used as Type USE-2 direct-buried underground service entrances, but they are also listed for RHH and RHW-2 applications. This versatility makes them suitable for installation in raceways for general-purpose lighting and power circuits. Such multiple listings provide installers with the unique advantage of purchasing a single product suitable for installation on both sides of the service point when the service point is located within the building envelope.

Weatherproof line wire is a crucial component of overhead transmission and distribution lines, known for its durability and reliability. The protective covering serves multiple purposes: it shields the conductor from mechanical damage, enhances its longevity by resisting weathering and chemical corrosion, and prevents short circuits and unwanted welding in the event of accidental contact between conductors. These features collectively improve the wire's overall reliability.

Tree wire is a safety-oriented solution designed for areas with overhead power lines that may come into contact with trees or other debris. Its durable insulation protects against electrical faults that can result from such contact. Tree wire consists of a single conductor, which can be an Aluminum Alloy Conductor (AAC), an All Aluminum Alloy Conductor (AAAC), or an Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR). This conductor is wrapped in either a single layer of thermoset, track-resistant material, a two-layer thermoset covering with a track-resistant outer layer, or a three-layer thermoset covering that includes both a track-resistant outer layer and a semi-conductive conductor shield. These safety-focused designs can also be utilized as spacer cables when paired with the appropriate accessories, ensuring peace of mind for your operations.

Reverse Twist Secondary (RTS) cable is a versatile solution intended for use as a secondary overhead distribution cable in 3-wire single-phase power systems. Its alternating lay direction (left-right-left) increases the cable length, which is advantageous for mid-span taps. The insulated conductors within RTS cables are resistant to weather, sunlight, abrasion, tearing, cutting, and chemicals. One significant benefit of RTS cables is that they can be installed using conventional equipment, making them a practical choice for various applications.
