Underground Distribution and Shielded Power Cables

General Cable’s EmPowr® Underground Distribution and Shielded Power cables are manufacturedand tested in accordance with ANSI/ICEA S-94-649 for Type URD concentric neutral and flat strapcable designs or ANSI/ICEA S-97-682 for copper wire, tape and LACT shielded power cable designs.Our cables also meet the latest requirements of AEIC CS8 and RUS U-1 as applicable.

Conductors are available in solid or class B compressed concentric lay stranded aluminum or coppermeeting the appropriate requirements of ICEA and ASTM. Stranded conductors can be blocked to prevent longitudinal movement of moisture along the cable. When applicable, STRANDFILL®

conductors are tested in accordance with ICEA T-31-610.

Exceptional measures are taken during the materials handling and extrusion processes to ensure our cable delivers the reliability and longevity expected by our customers. Semi-conducting shieldcompounds are supplied and handled in an ultra-clean environment. Compounds are supplied in specially designed ultra-clean containers (protective outer box with a sealed removable inner lining)and handled within Class 10,000 clean rooms. In addition to the special materials handling, the conductor shield, insulation and insulation shield are applied using triple extrusion technology. These extra measures provide our customers with the highest-quality cable products available in the industry.

Designs are available with either Tree-Retardant Crosslinked Polyethylene (TRXLPE) or EthylenePropylene Rubber (EPR) insulation. Our EmPowr® Link TRXLPE insulated cables offer high dielectricstrength with extremely low dielectric loss characteristics. TRXLPE insulation is an economical optionfor the high-volume usage in underground residential systems. Our EmPowr® Fill EPR insulated cablesare flexible for easy handling and exhibit excellent heat and moisture resistance. The physical andthermal characteristics of EPR insulation result in a high resistance to deformation. EPR insulation istypically specified for heavily loaded circuits such as feeders and network systems.

Cables are available with various metallic shields that include round wires, helically applied coppertape, flat copper straps or longitudinally applied corrugated copper tape. Combinations of waterswellable tapes and powders applied between the insulation shield and jacket provides maximummoisture migration protection. When applicable, BIFILL® and TRIFILL® water-blocked cables are tested in accordance with ICEA T-34-664.

A growing alternative to direct buried cable or pulling cable in rigid conduit is purchasing cable pre-installed in flexible duct. Our CDC® Combined Duct & Cable offers comparable mechanical protection as rigid polyethylene duct and saves labor to pull cable into rigid duct. CDC® can also save considerable costs associated with cable replacement as compared to direct buried cableinstallations.

General Cable provides a number of underground cables designed to meet special applications. For example, our PowrPak cables are intended for use in today's aging and expanding urban underground distribution systems of utilities where PILC has been used previously. Our uniquePowrPak design and special manufacturing techniques allow a diameter reduction of more than 15 percent relative to standard AEIC solid dielectric cables. The smaller diameter permits PowrPak to be installed into existing ductwork … a feat not always possible with other types of PILC replacement cable.

TransPowr® AAC Bare Overhead ConductorAll-Aluminum 1350 Conductor Concentric-Lay-Stranded

Product Construction:Complete Conductor:

Bare All-Aluminum 1350 Conductors (AAC) are concentric-lay-stranded consisting of one or more layers of wire wrapped helicallyaround a straight round central wire. Each successive layer has six wires more than the layerimmediately beneath. Greater flexibility is providedby increasing the number of strands for a specificcross-sectional area. AAC conductors aremanufactured in accordance with therequirements of the latest applicable issues ofASTM specifications B230 and B231.

The more commonly used strandings are 7, 19, 37,61 and 91.

Class AA strandings are used for bare overheadlines. The direction of lay for the outer layer isright-hand and is normally reversed in successivelayers. The temper is full hard drawn (H19).

Class A strandings are used primarily foroverhead conductors which are to be coveredwith weather-resistant materials. Greater flexibilityis provided than Class AA. The outer layer is right-hand and the temper generally H19. Successivelayers have reverse lay.

Non-specular configurations are available formost normally used sizes.

Features and Benefits:Optimum economy is provided since the lighterweight means lower unit length costs, easierhandling in installation and less-complex fittings.

All-aluminum conductors have an inherent highcorrosion resistance due to their homogeneousconstruction.

Applications:Stranded bare All-Aluminum 1350 Conductors(AAC) are used in overhead line installationswhere design parameters do not require thehigher strength or temperature ratings provided byACSR, ACSS or other type conductors.

Options:• Trapezoidal-shaped aluminum strands (/TW)• High-Conductivity aluminum (/HC) (62.0% IACS)• Non-specular surface finish (/NS)

TransPowr® AAC/TW Bare Overhead ConductorTrapezoidal All-Aluminum 1350 Concentric-Lay-Stranded


TransPowr® AAC/TW is a Trapezoidal 1350 H19Aluminum (AAC) concentric-lay-stranded conductor. The aluminum strands are trapezoidalin shape. The wedge-shaped aluminum strandsenable a more-compact alignment of the aluminum wires.

Conductor designs that maintain the same circular mil cross-sectional area of aluminum asa conventional round conductor result in a TWconductor that is 10 to 15 percent smaller inoverall diameter.

Conductor designs that maintain the same overall diameter as a conventional round conductor result in a TW conductor that has 20 to 25 percent more aluminum cross-sectionalarea packed in.

The AAC/TW conductors are manufactured inaccordance with the requirements of the latestissue of ASTM B778.

The conductor consists of two, three, four or five layers of aluminum 1350-H19 wires. The sizes and constructions listed on this and the following pages are examples used in overhead lines.

(1) Based on conductivity of 61.2% (average lot) IACS @ 20°C for aluminum, a conductor temp. rise of 75°C over 25°C ambient, 2 ft/seccrosswind, .5 coefficient of emissivity, with sun (96 W/ft2), @ 60 Hz.

(2) Weights shown are for conductor only. All weights and lengths are nominal. Normal lengths and shipping tolerances apply.


Features and Benefits:TransPowr® AAC/TW has a continuous operating temperature rating of 75°C. Operation ofthe conductor at elevated temperatures mayincrease the conductor sag properties and lowerthe rated tensile strength of the conductor.

AAC/TW conductors constructed of equivalentaluminum circular mil cross-sectional area provide a conductor that is smaller in overalldiameter than the equivalent conventional roundwire AAC conductor. The reduced conductordiameter is advantageous in reducing the effectsof ice and wind loading on the conductor.

AAC/TW conductors constructed to equivalentoverall diameter enable a greater circular milcross-sectional area of aluminum within the conductor allowing a significant increase in conductor current carrying capacity.

Applications:Trapezoidal 1350 H19 Aluminum Conductors (AAC/TW) are used for overhead transmission lineswhere design parameters do not require thehigher strength or temperature ratings provided by ACSR, ACSS or other type conductors.

Electrical Parameters:The electrical parameters for the Trapezoidal AACequivalent circular mil area, and equivalentoverall diameter conductors may be found in the last table of this section.

Options:• High-Conductivity aluminum (/HC) (62.0% IACS)• Non-specular surface finish (/NS)

*GENERAL CABLE utilizes an aluminum alloy composition that meets both the requirements of 6101 T81 and 6201 T81 designation.(1) Equivalent Size refers to an ACSR conductor size of equal diameter.(2) Equivalent Size refers to an ASTM AAC 1350 conductor of approximate equivalent electrical resistance.(3) Based on conductivity of 52.5% (minimum lot average) IACS @ 20°C. to convert to ohm/km multiply value x 3.281.(4) Based on conductor temperature of 75°C, 25°C ambient, 2 ft/sec crosswind, 0.5 coefficient of emissivity, full sun, @ 60 Hz.(5) Weights shown for conductor only. All weights and lengths are nominal. Normal length and shipping tolerances apply.


AAAC is a high-strength aluminum alloy,concentric-lay-stranded conductor. It is similarin construction and appearance to the AAC all-aluminum conductor.The AAAC conductor is manufactured inaccordance with the requirements of the latestissue of ASTM B399. The AAAC conductor ismanufactured from a heat-treated, magnesium-silicide high-strength 6201 T81 aluminum alloy. The aluminum strands consist of a concentric-stranded cable of 7, 19, 37 or more wires. Thesizes and strandings listed are common examplesused in overhead lines. Metric (mm) sizes arealso available.

Features and Benefits:Aluminum Alloy conductors have a number of advantages over the use of the ACSR or all-aluminum conductors.• Lower power losses than for equivalent single-

aluminum layer ACSR conductors. (Theinductive effect of the steel core in the ACSRis eliminated)

• Simpler fittings than those required for ACSR• Excellent corrosion resistance in environments

conducive to galvanic corrosion in ACSR• Strength and sags approximately the same as

for equivalent 6/1 and 26/7 ACSR conductors• Outside diameters are the same as for standard

ACSR conductors, permitting interchangeabilityof fittings

• Greater resistance to abrasion than that for 1350wires in all-aluminum or ACSR conductors

Applications:AAAC Aluminum Alloy Conductors are extensivelyused for overhead distribution and transmissionlines adjacent to ocean coastlines where therecan be a problem of corrosion in the steel of anACSR construction.

The Aluminum Alloy Conductors are used in place of single-layer ACSR conductors (ie #6 to#4/0 AWG) to reduce power losses in overheaddistribution and transmission lines. The inductiveeffect of the ACSR’s steel core is eliminated,hence increasing the operating efficiency of the line.

TransPowr® ACSR Bare Overhead ConductorAluminum Conductor Steel-Reinforced Concentric-Lay-Stranded


ACSR is a composite concentric-lay-strandedconductor. ACSR conductors are manufactured inaccordance with the requirements of the latestapplicable issues of ASTM specifications B230,B232, B341, B498 and B500. The steel strand orstrands form the central core of the conductor,around which is stranded one or more layers of aluminum 1350-H19 wires. The steel core may consist of a single strand or a concentric-stranded cable of 7, 19, 37 or more wires.Numerous combinations of aluminum and steelstrands and layers are possible. The sizes andstrandings listed on the following pages are thosemost frequently used for overhead lines.

Features and Benefits:ACSR conductors are recognized for their record of economy, dependability and favorablestrength/weight ratio. ACSR conductors combinethe light weight and good conductivity of aluminum with the high tensile strength andruggedness of steel. In line design, this can provide higher tensions, less sag and longer spanlengths than obtainable with most other types of overhead conductors. The steel strands are added as mechanical reinforcement. Thecross-sections above illustrate some commonstrandings.

Applications:Aluminum Conductors, Steel-Reinforced (ACSR)are extensively used for overhead distribution andtransmission lines.

TransPowr® ACSR/AW Bare Overhead ConductorAluminum Conductor Aluminum-Clad Steel-Reinforced Concentric-Lay-Stranded


ACSR/AW is a composite concentric-lay-stranded conductor. ACSR/AW conductors aremanufactured in accordance with therequirements of the latest applicable issues ofASTM specifications B230, B502 and B549.Aluminum-clad steel strands form the centralcore of the conductor, around which isstranded one or more layers of aluminum 1350-H19 wires. The aluminum-clad steel coremay consist of a single strand or a concentricstranded conductor of 7, 19, 37 or more wires.Numerous combinations of aluminum and steelstrands and layers are possible. The sizes andstrandings listed on the following pages arethose most frequently used for overhead lines.

Features and Benefits:The AW core, which consists of a thick layer of aluminum (approx. 10 percent of the nominalwire radius) over steel, gives ACSR/AWconductors the advantage of light weight andgood conductivity of aluminum with the hightensile strength and ruggedness of steel. Thecross-sections above illustrate some commonstrandings.

Applications:Aluminum conductors reinforced with aluminum-clad steel wire (ACSR/AW) are used for overhead distribution and transmission lines where a high degree ofcorrosion resistance is needed. It should alsobe considered for use in locations where airpollution exists, such as along the coast or inhighly industrialized areas.

Options:• High-Conductivity aluminum (/HC) (62.0%

IACS)• Trapezoidal-shaped aluminum strands (/TW)• Non-specular surface finish (/NS)

REDUCED DIAMETER–CONDUCTORS SIZED TO HAVE EQUIVALENT CIRCULAR MIL AREA TO REGULAR ACSR


TransPowr® ACSR/TW is a Trapezoidal AluminumConductor Steel-Reinforced concentric-lay-stranded conductor. The aluminum strands aretrapezoidal in shape.

The wedge-shaped aluminum strands enable amore-compact alignment of the aluminum wires.Conductor designs that maintain the samecircular mil cross-sectional area of aluminum asa conventional round conductor result in a TWconductor that is 10 to 15 percent smaller inoverall diameter. Conductor designs that maintainthe same overall diameter as a conventionalround conductor result in a TW conductor thathas 20 to 25 percent more aluminum cross-sectional area packed in.

The ACSR/TW conductors are manufactured inaccordance with the requirements of the latestissue of ASTM B779.

The steel strands form the central core of the conductor, around which is stranded two, threeor four layers of aluminum 1350-H19 wires. Thesteel core may consist of a concentric strandedcable of 7, 19 or more wires. Numerouscombinations of aluminum and steel strands andlayers are possible. The sizes and constructionslisted on this and the following pages arecommon examples used in overhead lines.

For ACSR/TW conductors the standard Class Agalvanized coating is usually adequate forordinary environments.

REDUCED DIAMETER–CONDUCTORS SIZED TO HAVE EQUIVALENT CIRCULAR MIL AREA TO REGULAR ACSR Features and Benefits:TransPowr® ACSR/TW has a continuous operating temperature rating of 75°C. ACSR and ACSR/TW conductors have an “industry- accepted” short-duration maximum operatingtemperature rating of 100°C. Operation of the conductor at elevated temperatures mayincrease the conductor sag properties and lowerthe rated tensile strength of the conductor.

TransPowr® ACSR/TW conductors are recognized for their record of economy, dependability and favorable strength-to-weightratio. ACSR/TW conductors constructed ofequivalent aluminum circular mil cross-sectionalarea provide a conductor that is smaller in overalldiameter than the equivalent conventional roundwire ACSR conductor. The reduced conductordiameter is advantageous in reducing the effectsof ice and wind loading on the conductor. ACSR/TW conductors constructed to equivalent overalldiameter enable a greater circular mil cross-sectional area of aluminum within the conductorallowing a significant increase in conductor current-carrying capacity.

Applications:Trapezoidal Aluminum Conductors, Steel-Reinforced (ACSR/TW) are extensively used foroverhead distribution and transmission lines.

Electrical Parameters:The electrical parameters for the TrapezoidalACSR equivalent circular mil area, and equivalentoverall diameter conductors may be found in thelast table of this section.

TransPowr® ACSS Bare Overhead ConductorAluminum Conductor Steel-Supported Concentric-Lay-Stranded


ACSS is a composite concentric-lay-strandedcable. The steel strands form the central coreof the cable around which is stranded one ormore layers of aluminum 1350-O wires. ACSSconductors are manufactured in accordancewith the requirements of the latest applicableissue of ASTM specification B856. The “O”temper of the aluminum, a fully annealed orsoft temper, causes most or all of themechanical load on ACSS to be carried by thesteel. The steel core may consist of 7, 19, 37 ormore wires. Class A zinc coating is usuallyadequate for ordinary environments.

Features and Benefits:ACSS conductors are similar to conventionalACSR with some very important additionaladvantages. ACSS can operate continuously athigh temperatures (200°C) without damage; itsags less under emergency electricalloadings than ACSR; it is self-damping ifprestretched during installation; and its finalsags are not affected by long time creep of thealuminum.

Applications:Aluminum Conductor, Steel-Supported (ACSS)are used for overhead distribution andtransmission lines. They are especially usefulin reconductoring applications requiringincreased current with existing tensions andclearances; new line applications wherestructures can be economized due to reducedsag; new line applications requiring highemergency loadings; lines where aeolianvibration is a problem.

(1) Code words as shown denote ACSS with Class A galvanized core. See the OPTIONS: section on page 81 tofind the appropriate code word modifier designation foralternative design options.

(2) Rated strengths shown are applicable to GA cores.Alternate cores results in different strengths.

(3) Based on conductivity of 63.0% IACS @20°C for aluminumand 8% IACS @20°C for steel core.

(4) Based on conductor temp. rise of 175°C over 25°C ambient,2 ft/sec crosswind, .5 coefficient of emissivity, no sun, @ 60 Hz.

(5) Weights shown are for conductor only. All weights andlengths are nominal. Normal shipping tolerances apply.

TransPowr® ACSS/AW Bare Overhead ConductorAluminum Conductor Aluminum-Clad Steel-Supported Concentric-Lay-Stranded


ACSS/AW is a composite concentric-lay-stranded cable. Aluminum-clad steelstrands form the central core of the cablearound which is stranded one or more layers of aluminum 1350-O wires. ACSS/AWconductors are manufactured in accordancewith the latest applicable issue of ASTM B856.The “O” temper of the aluminum, a fullyannealed or soft temper, causes most or all of the mechanical load of ACSS/AW to becarried by the steel. The Aluminum-Clad steelcore may consist of 7, 19, 37 or more wires.Numerous combinations of aluminum and steelstrand and layers are possible. The sizes and strandings listed on the followingpages are those most frequently used foroverhead lines.

Features and Benefits:The AW core, which consists of a thick layerof aluminum (approx. 10% of the nominal wire \radius) over steel, gives ACSS/AW conductorsthe advantages of standard ACSS along withlight weight and good conductivity ofaluminum with the high tensile strength andruggedness of steel. The cross-sections aboveillustrate some common stranding.

Applications:Aluminum Conductor, Steel-Supported withaluminum-clad steel wire (ACSS/AW) are usedfor overhead distribution and transmissionlines where a high degree of corrosionresistance is required.

Options:• High-Strength aluminum-clad steel core

(/HSAW)• Extra-High-Strength aluminum-clad steel

core (/EHSAW)• Ultra-High-Strength aluminum-clad steel

core (/UHSAW)• Trapezoidal-shaped aluminum strands (/TW)• Non-specular surface finish (/NS)

For other conductor sizes, designs and/or specific installation requirements not shown in the tables, phone BICC® Brand Electric Utility Products or contact us on the Web [email protected].

TransPowr® ACSS/TW Bare Overhead ConductorTrapezoidal Aluminum Conductor Steel-Supported Concentric-Lay-Stranded


TransPowr® ACSS/TW is a Trapezoidal AluminumConductor Steel-Supported concentric-lay-stranded conductor. The aluminum strands aretrapezoidal in shape.

The wedge-shaped aluminum strands enable amore-compact alignment of the aluminum wires.Conductor designs that maintain the samecircular mil cross-sectional area of aluminum asa conventional round conductor result in a TW conductor that is 10 to 15 percent smaller in overall diameter. Conductor designs that maintainthe same overall diameter as a conventionalround conductor result in a TW conductor thathas 20 to 25 percent more aluminum cross-sectional area packed in.

The ACSS/TW conductors are manufactured inaccordance with the requirements of the latestissue of ASTM B857.

The steel strands form the central core of the conductor, around which is stranded two, threeor four layers of aluminum 1350 O temper(annealed) wires. The steel core may consist of aconcentric stranded cable of 7, 19 or more wires.Numerous combinations of aluminum and steelstrands and layers are possible. The sizes andconstructions listed on this and the followingpages are common examples used in overhead lines.

The steel core wires are protected from corrosionby galvanizing. For ACSS/TW conductors thestandard Class A galvanized coating is usuallyadequate for ordinary environments.

Features and Benefits:TransPowr® ACSS/TW conductors are similar toconventional ACSR/TW conductors but havesome very important additional advantages.ACSS/TW conductors can operate continuouslyat high temperatures (200°C) without damage; it sags less than ACSR/TW under emergencyelectrical loadings; it has self damping properties; and its final sags are not affected by long-term creep of the aluminum.

ACSS/TW conductors constructed of equivalentaluminum circular mil cross-sectional area provide a conductor that is smaller in overalldiameter than the equivalent conventional roundwire ACSS conductor. The reduced conductordiameter is advantageous in reducing the effectsof ice and wind loading on the conductor.

ACSS/TW conductors constructed to equivalentoverall diameter enable a greater circular milcross-sectional area of aluminum within the conductor, allowing a significant increase in conductor current-carrying capacity.

TransPowr® AAC/T-2® Bare Overhead ConductorAll-Aluminum 1350 Conductor Concentric-Lay-Stranded Twisted Pair


AAC/T-2 is a twisted pair of stranded aluminumconductors twisted around each other at ninefoot intervals. AAC/T-2 conductors aremanufactured in accordance with therequirements of the latest applicable issues ofASTM specifications B230, B231 and B911 asapplicable. The sizes and strandings listed onthe following pages are those most frequentlyused for overhead lines. Additional sizes andstrandings are available.

Features and Benefits:The AAC/T-2 conductor design effectivelyresists wind-induced motion in two ways. First,the constantly varying diameter preventsbuildup of resonant vibration in the line.Second, the low torsional stiffness reducesmotion-causing wind forces to ineffectivelevels. These mechanical properties eliminategalloping, reduces aeolian vibration andcontrols subconductor oscillation. AAC/T-2 canreduce structural costs by permitting higherconductor tensions, resulting in less sag andlonger spans. Also, right -of-way cost may bereduced by utilizing compact line designs.Electrically, AAC/T-2 operates at lowertemperatures and has a lower AC resistancethan a single conventional conductor with thesame aluminum area. AAC/T-2 can be installedwith the same methods and equipment usedfor standard round conductors.

Applications:AAC/T-2 conductors are used for overheaddistribution and transmission lines which aresubject to wind-induced motion damage.

Options:• High-Conductivity aluminum (/HC) (62.0%

IACS)• Non-specular surface finish (/NS)

TransPowr® ACSR/T-2® Bare Overhead ConductorAluminum Conductor Steel-Reinforced Concentric-Lay-Stranded Twisted Pair


ACSR/T-2 is a pair of stranded aluminum, steelreinforced, conductors twisted around eachother at nine foot intervals. ACSR/T-2conductors are manufactured in accordancewith the latest applicable issue of ASTM B911.The sizes and strandings listed on thefollowing pages are those most frequentlyused for overhead lines. The steel core wiresare protected by galvanizing, aluminizing oraluminum cladding. The standard Class A zinc coating is usually adequate for ordinaryenvironments. For greater protection, Class Band C galvanized coatings, aluminized orAluminum-Clad steel cores may be specified.

Features and Benefits:The ACSR/T-2 conductor design effectivelyresists wind-induced motion in two ways. First, the constantly varying diameter preventsbuildup of resonant vibration in the line.Second, the low torsional stiffness reducesmotion-causing wind forces to ineffective levels. These mechanical properties eliminategalloping, reduce aeolian vibration and controlsub-conductor oscillation. ACSR/T-2 canreduce structural costs by permitting higherconductor tensions, resulting in less sag andlonger spans. Also, right-of-way costs maybe reduced by utilizing compact line designs.Electrically, ACSR/T-2 operates at lower temperatures and has a lower AC resistancethan a single conventional conductor with the same aluminum area. ACSR/T-2 can be installed with the same methods and equipment used for standard round conductors.

Applications:ACSR/T-2 conductors are used for overheaddistribution and transmission lines which aresubject to wind-induced motion damage.

Weatherproof Line Wire Overhead ConductorAluminum Conductor PE or HDPE or XLPE Covering


Weatherproof Line Wire consists of one aluminum conductor covered with polyethylene. Weatherproof Line Wire meets the requirements of ICEA S-70-547.Conductors meet ASTM Specifications B231and B232 as applicable.

Conductor:Solid, Class A or Class AA concentric-lay-stranded aluminum alloy 1350-H19 or ACSRconductor. The direction of the lay of the outerlayer of stranded wires is right-hand.

Covering:Either black high-molecular-weight polyethylene (PE), black high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or black extruded cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) covers thewire for weatherproofing purposes only. Thereis no voltage rating assigned.

Features and Benefits:The covering provides mechanical protectionto the conductor and is resistant toweathering, abrasion, tearing, cutting andchemicals. If conductors accidentally comeinto contact due to high winds, falling treelimbs or other disturbances, the coveringresists short circuits and the tendency forconductors to weld together.

Applications:Weatherproof Line Wire is used for overheadtransmission and distribution lines. Coveredline wire is not an electrically insulated cable.Therefore, it should be installed on insulators,and users should treat line wire as bare conductor for personal safety.

Packaging InformationRecommended Reel Handling Procedures

When off loading reels from a truck, lower reels carefully usinga hydraulic gate, hoist or fork lift truck. Never drop reels. If reelsmust be rolled, roll in opposite direction of the cable wraps tokeep cable from loosening on the reel.

When using a hoist, install a mandrel through the reel arborholes and attach a sling. Use a spreader bar approximately 6 inches longer than the overall reel width placed between the sling ends just above the reel flanges. This will preventbending the reel flanges and mashing the cable.

If a fork lift is used, approach the reel from the flangeside. Position the forks such that the reel is lifted byboth reel flanges. Do not allow the lift forks to contactthe cable. Care must be taken by the fork lift operatornot to make sudden turns or stops.

Cable shipped on pallets should be stored indoors if possible. Cable shipped on wooden or metalreels may be stored outdoors. When selecting a storage site, consideration should be given to:

• Traffic patterns during off-loading• Grade and condition of the soil or pavement• Protection from vehicle damage during the time in storage• Environmental conditions such as exposure to heat, corrosive chemicals, etc.

Cable reels should be stored on hard surfaces resting on theflanges edge (flanges vertical). Align reels flange to flange and,if possible, arrange so that first in is first out. Multiple reelsstacked on top of each other ("Pancake" storage), or storingreels flat (flanges horizontal) is not recommended for bare conductor or medium-voltage cable. The weight of the stackcan total thousands of pounds creating an enormous load onthe bottom reel. Also, damage to the reel and/or cable will likely occur when the reel is flipped for transit. A concentrationof stress on the reel flange may cause it to break and subsequently damage the cable.

Packaging InformationRecommended Reel Handling Procedures

If cable reels must be pancaked or stored in vertical racks, do not lift the reel by the top flange.Spacers placed under the bottom flange and between reels (two 2x4's placed wide side up) createa space to insert the forks and lift the reel without damaging the cable. If nails are used to securethe spacers, make sure the nails do not go through the flange and into the cable.

For extended storage of bare orinsulated cables (spare cable,etc.) reels should be stored cradled between railroad ties,power poles or crossarms. Sizeand spacing of the supportsshould raise the flange above theground.

When possible, the reel wrap or lagging supplied on the reels should be replaced to help protect thecable from inadvertent damage. Under extreme environmental conditions, other measures may benecessary. To prevent entrance of water, cable ends should be sealed with plastic end caps. Electricaltape does not offer a sufficient seal. When lengths are cut, cable ends should be immediately resealedand secured.

Don’t End View of Spacers Do

This helps keep the flanges fromdecaying and prevents the reels fromrolling. At temporary storage siteswhere soil may be soft, preservative-treated plywood sheets may be usedto keep reel flanges from sinking intothe ground.

Reeless Package

Reeless packageThe reeless package was introduced by GeneralCable in 1999 as a means to help Utilities with thegrowing concern of disposal and landfill costs. Thisis accomplished by supplying material without thewooden reel traditionally used for distribution ofwire and cable; instead material is supplied in a coilwith exact dimensions that will allow Utilities to payoff by the use of either molded plastic or tubularsteel reels, reels on a turntable or turntable inconjunction with a dome.

Before shipment, wire coils are protected by plastic strapping and stretch wrap. They are then loaded in a trailer in a triangular fashion or on a pallet.

The reeless package system is a cost-effectivemeans of delivering cable products, saving in material, transportation and landfill costs. Inaddition, there are savings opportunities for storage costs as the coils take up less physicalspace than traditional cable on reels. When usedwith a turntable or turntable and dome, the reelesspackage offers 360° payoff ability—a significantbenefit when installing cable with limited set up area.
