Cathodic protection cable helps prevent rust on mechanical equipment and exposed metal structures, including storage tanks, pipelines, wells, offshore oil platforms, subsea equipment, and ocean vessels.
Single conductors are solid or stranded and annealed or hardened uncoated copper.
Conductors are insulated with a concentrically applied HMWPE (high molecular weight polyethylene).
LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene) is standard and HDPE (high density polyethylene) is available on request.
Print legends on the wire include the manufacturer, conductor size, voltage rating, UL symbol (if applicable) and type designation. Standard length spools are 500 or 2500 feet.
