Concentric core (anti-theft) cables
Description
OverviewThe main feature of this cable is its concentric design with the phase conductor safely in the middle of the cable. A neutral covers and insulates the core, safeguarding against electricity theft. Application These cables are used for single-phase supply, cable-to-house service connections of smaller single-phase users where theft and power pilferage is common. Characteristics Unidac has a small overall diameter because of its concentric design. Applicable standards CNE and SNE. These cables can also be offered with communication pairs. Product range The cable sizes are 1×6/6, 1×10/10, 1×16/16, 1×25/25. Higher sizes and multi core cables can be manufactured on request. Advantages Our cables help avoid unauthorised access to phase conductors insulated by concentric layers.
Concentric-core construction places the neutral as a screen around the phase conductor, making illegal tapping difficult and detectable. Widely used for house service connections in utility networks.
