160-23-4093 500 MCM 1C 37Strand Aluminum Shield 1/3 Neutral EPR Concentric BC PE Okoguard URO-J 25KV URD Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 160-23-4093 500 MCM 1C 37Strand Aluminum Shield 1/3 Neutral EPR Concentric BC PE Okoguard URO-J 25KV URD Cable:100 Amps

About:

The single-conductor underground residential distribution (URD) cable, designed for primary distribution systems operating at 25kV. This cable features a stranded aluminum conductor, an aluminum shield, and a full concentric neutral. It is insulated with Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) and protected with a Polyethylene (PE) jacket, making it suitable for direct burial or duct installations.

Also Known As:

• Okoguard URD Cable
• 25KV URD Okoguard Cable
• Okoguard EPR 25KV Cable

Application:

• Okoguard URO-J cables provide maximum circuit longevity in underground residential distribution systems. They can be buried directly or installed in underground ducts or conduits.
