Cathodic Protection Cable, Packaging Type : Black.

HMWPE insulated cable is composed of copper
wire, which is covered by High Molecular Weight
Polyethylene (HMWPE) high thickness insulation.
The copper wire is stranded and annealed to permit
extra flexibility. The polyethylene on the cable is
approximately twice as thick as on conventional
HMWPE wire; it serving as both electrical insulator
and mechanical cover for the conductor. This
provides cable with outstanding dielectric strength
and moisture resistance. During installation, the
cable can withstand considerable mechanical abuse without risk of damage to the copper
electrical conductor.
The polyethylene cover is also chemically resistant and protects against most organic and
inorganic substances.
Availability
HMWPE cable is offered in a variety of sizes. It can be used as a header cable on cathodic
protection systems or to make anode-lead or negative-return connections. The thick polyethylene
cover permits direct burial of the cable in native soils or submersion in freshwater. The cable
exhibits superior flexibility and can be bent without risk of notch propagation. It is not
recommended for use in environments containing chlorine, hydrochloric acid, or petroleum
hydrocarbons.
