General Cable products

TransPowr^® with E3X^® Technology is the only universal heat-dissipating technology for overhead conductors that optimizes the power grid by adding more capacity and controlling losses, ultimately resulting in improved sustainability, reliability and resilience with significant first-cost and long-term operational savings! By increasing conductor emissivity (improving heat dissipation) and reducing absorptivity (minimizing heat absorption), groundbreaking E3X Technology drives results — a reduced conductor size for a given ampacity rating, or increased ampacity rating and reduced operating temperature for a given conductor size, improving energy effectiveness and efficiency.

For more than half a century, our Silec^® Brand has been synonymous with maximum service life in high- and extra-high voltage (HV/EHV) underground cabling systems. Designed, engineered and manufactured to ensure long-term, reliable performance and low maintenance for your current and future underground transmission projects, this comprehensive line of environmentally-sound solid-dielectric underground cable is available in:

Introducing TransPowr with E3X Technology, the utility industry’s first heat-dissipating conductor that optimizes the power grid by adding more capacity and controlling losses, ultimately resulting in improved sustainability, reliability and resilience with significant first-cost and long-term operational savings!

Manufactured and tested in accordance with applicable ANSI/ICEA, UL and CSA standards, our complete line of PowrServ^® cables are available in numerous conductor design and cable assembly options to meet your specific low-voltage secondary distribution needs and ensure reliable service for your commercial and residential customers.

When it comes to reliably delivering electricity to meet the increasing demands of your customers, look no further than our full line of EmPowr^® medium-voltage underground and shielded power cables for 5 kV – 46 kV primary distribution lines. Manufactured and tested in accordance with ANSI/ICEA S-94-649 for copper concentric neutral and flat strap power cable designs, or ANSI/ICEA S-97-682 for copper wire, copper tape and longitudinally applied corrugated copper tape (LACT) shielded power cable designs, EmPowr medium-voltage distribution cables are available with a variety of insulation and jacketing compounds. Our cables can also be manufactured and tested in accordance with CSA C68.5.

For proven solutions that meet specific substation power requirements, General Cable offers electric utility cables that include TransPowr® ACSR, AAC and 1350-0 bare overhead transmission conductors, bare copper and Dead Soft Annealed Copper Clad Steel (DSA CCS) grounding conductors, and PowrNet® 600 V secondary network cables.

General Cable is a recognized leader in the design and manufacture of cables for power generation from fossil fuels including natural gas, oil and coal to nuclear, wind, solar, hydro, biomass or tidal. To compete in today’s cost-driven and deregulated marketplace, companies designing, building and equipping power-generation facilities can benefit from a single source for high-quality products, technical support and service.

The STABILOY® and NUAL® Brands of aluminum alloy feeder cables are installed in commercial, institutional and residential buildings in North America delivering reliable, long-term performance for 40 years. These high quality cables meet or exceed the requirements of industry standards and are approved for use by the National Electrical Code® and CSA.

STABILOY Brand MC Cable and NUAL® Brand armored cables are factory-produced cable assemblies protected by interlocked aluminum alloy armor, with or without a PVC jacket. This innovative cable construction delivers significant installation cost savings compared to the traditional conduit and wire installation methods. Flexibility, durability, and versatility make our STABILOY Brand MC and NUAL Brand armored cables the contractor’s choice for quick, one-step installation.
