For more than 100 years, aluminum and aluminum alloy conductor materials have been used by electrical utilities for the transmission and distribution of electrical power. Aluminum has displaced copper conductors for these applications, and is the standard material for electrical conductors. These conductor designs have consistently provided a superior combination of strength and conductivity for distribution and transmission applications.

Aluminum and aluminum alloy conductor materials are superior choices for wire and cable products in various electrical applications because of aluminum's excellent physical and electrical properties. Aluminum is light weight - about a third as heavy as copper; it is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, an excellent reflector of heat and light, it is highly resistant to corrosion, strong and flexible, and can be made stronger or more flexible by alloying and/or heat treatments. Aluminum is also non-magnetic, which is a valuable property for a raceway or an armor, and is easily recyclable.

Combine these superior product qualities with a company that is recognized as the industry leader in customer service, and the result is value-added performance delivered on time, every time. Alcan Cable has earned the confidence of innovative design engineers and progressive contractors by consistently exceeding their expectations. STABILOY® and NUAL® cables are increasingly becoming the preferred choice for building wire applications. Isn't it time your company took a closer look at the benefits of aluminum cable?
