Medium Voltage Cables & Electrical Infrastructure

Long-lasting and reliable distribution cable systems

With more than 75 years of experience in the electrical infrastructure industry, we’ve put our materials to the test with proven success. Over that time we have worked to evaluate existing technology and keep what makes it great while using technology advancements to further increase performance. These advancements come from collaborations across the industry combined with our own materials science knowledge. Our ENDURANCE™ family of compounds for cable systems is a result of those efforts

As we’ve worked to improve technology, we’ve also taken a close look at how it’s used. We recommend a systems approach to cable construction, selecting the highest-quality materials for insulation, jacketing and semiconductive compounds that work well together. We have found a systems approach delivers the best and most consistent result.

Next-level distribution cable insulation

1983, we transformed the industry with the introduction of a water-tree-retardant crosslinked polyethylene (TR-XLPE) insulation. Since 1983, TR-XLPE has rapidly replaced conventional XLPE to become the predominant insulation for underground distribution cables in North America. So we’ve built upon the success of our proprietary TR-XLPE and improved it to address industry needs.

Our most recent generation of TR-XLPE technology, ENDURANCE™ HFDC-4202 insulation compound, takes reliability to the next level by offering five times longer life performance than competitive TR-XLPE materials.

A complete distribution cable system

In addition to TR-XLPE insulation, we also provide fully formulated compounds for semiconductive shields and jacketing materials. Combining our latest TR-XLPE insulation with ENDURANCE™ HFDA-0800/0802 BK super-smooth semiconducting conductor shield, ENDURANCE™ HFDA-0693 BK and HFDA-0693 BK LS low-strip insulation shield and multiple options for jacketing compounds, results in a complete system that:
