STANDARDS & REFERENCES

Pro-Line Type CU HDPE 30 MIL conductors meets or exceeds all applicable ASTM specifications, requirements of the National Electrical Code.

  • ASTM B-3: Standard Specification for Soft or Annealed Copper Wire
  • ASTM B170: Standard Specification for Oxygen-Free Electrolytic Copper
  • ASTM D1248: Standard Specification for Polyethylene Plastics Extrusion Materials for Wire and Cable

CONSTRUCTION

  • Pro-Line Type CU HDPE 30 MIL copper conductors are annealed copper (soft drawn), insulated with a high-density, high molecular weight polyethylene (HDPE) insulation. HDPE provides an excellent balance of surface smoothness, processing ease and electrical consistency. HDPE provides superior strength against underground elements that help prevent accidental breaks caused buy rocks in shifting soil conditions.
  • Available in black, blue, green, orange, purple, red, white, and yellow. Some colors standard, some subject to economic order quantity.
