ACWU90 Cable Overview
The ACWU90 armored aluminum cable is a robust, CSA C22.2 No. 51-20-certified solution engineered for high-performance power transmission in extreme conditions. Featuring interlocked aluminum armor, RW90-rated XLPE insulation, and a UV-resistant PVC jacket, this multi-conductor cable delivers unmatched durability, flexibility, and safety for industrial, commercial, and utility applications.

Key Applications

  • Outdoor/Weather-Exposed Wiring: Resists moisture, sunlight, and temperature fluctuations (-40°C to 90°C).

  • Cable Trays & Direct Burial: Approved for ventilated, non-ventilated, and ladder-type trays; suitable for underground/concrete embedding.

  • Critical Infrastructure: Ideal for service entrances, renewable energy systems, wastewater plants, and hazardous locations.

  • Cost-Efficient Power Distribution: Aluminum conductors reduce weight and costs vs. copper, without compromising performance.
