Product Construction

Complete Conductor:
Tree wire consists of a single conductor AAC covered with either a single layer of thermoset track resistant covering, a two layer thermoset covering with a track resistant outer layer, or a three layer thermoset covering with a track resistant outer layer and a thermoset semi-conductive conductor shield. These designs may be used as spacer cable with the appropriate accessories.

Tree Wire/Spacer Cable is manufactured to ICEA S-121-733 and is available in either black or gray. All designs are rated for 90°C normal service operation, 130°C emergency overload, and 250°C short circuit in accordance with ICEA S-121-733.
