About:

The Okoguard Strand Aluminum Shield Neutral EPR Concentric BC PE URO-J 25KV URD Cable is a high-performance underground distribution cable designed for primary distribution systems. It combines the benefits of a stranded aluminum conductor with an ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) insulation, providing excellent electrical properties, flexibility, and moisture resistance. The cable is suitable for direct burial or duct installations and is engineered to meet stringent safety and reliability standards.

Also Known As:

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