Product Overview

Our Medium Voltage (MV) Primary Underground Distribution (URD) Cable is engineered for reliable power transmission in underground networks. Featuring Tree-Retardant Cross-Linked Polyethylene (TR-XLPE) insulation and robust concentric neutral construction, it delivers superior electrical performance, moisture resistance, and durability in harsh environments. Compliant with UL, ANSI/ICEA, and ASTM standards, it operates at 5–46 kV and temperatures up to 105°C.

Construction & Materials
