Medium Voltage Cables
Classic Wire & Cable (CWC) is a leading supplier of high-quality, UL-listed medium voltage cables. With an extensive network of NEMRA-affiliated representatives and a sales team with experience in distribution, we can meet the unique demands of the industrial, data center, commercial, residential, utility and renewable energy markets.
Product Overview: What Is Medium Voltage Cable?
Medium-voltage (MV) power cables are rated between 5 kV to 35 kV. They are designed for the transmission of electricity across moderate distances, acting as a crucial link between low-voltage distribution networks and high-voltage transmission lines.
The following characteristics make it possible for MV cables to withstand the unique challenges of harsh operating conditions and high power loads:
Durability
An outer jacket made of PVC offers excellent durability in extreme environments.
Enhanced thermal resistance
Specialized insulation consisting of ethylene propylene rubber (EPR).
Metallic shielding
To reduce interference and shield against electrical stress.
Superior conductivity
Copper conductor material, with a larger cross-section for high power loads.
At CWC, we offer medium-voltage cables specifically engineered to deliver the highest level of efficiency and reliability for applications across a broad range of industries.
