Key engineering advantages
Critical manufacturing construction choices engineered for reliability, thermal endurance, and rapid site installation.
Corrugated Steel Armour
Electrolytic chrome-coated steel tape provides superior crush resistance, rodent protection, and direct-burial durability.
Water-Blocking Gel Core
Thixotropic filling compound inside PBT loose tubes provides a complete longitudinal moisture barrier.
Zero Electrical Interference
Light-based data transmission allows routing alongside high-voltage 11kV/33kV power cables with zero noise coupling.
High-Bandwidth 10G/40G/100G
Low attenuation (<0.36 dB/km at 1310nm, <0.22 dB/km at 1550nm) supports high-speed network infrastructure.
Typical project applications
Where electrical contractors, EPCs, and industrial plants across Gujarat deploy this cable range.
- Industrial plant SCADA, CCTV perimeter surveillance, and telemetry backbones
- Enterprise campus inter-building data links and server room optical backbones
- High-voltage electrical substation perimeter and switchyard SCADA networks (EMI immune)
- Telecom provider fiber-to-the-premise (FTTX) and long-haul transport networks
Read a cable layer by layer
Conductor
The metal that carries the current: copper or aluminium, made of many strands so the cable stays flexible.
Every layer is a question we ask when you send a specification. Get the layers right and the cable fits the job.
Build the cable you need
Each choice is a layer of the cross-section. Pick the family, set the layers, and send us the specification as an enquiry.
