Alcan Launches Unique Aluminum FeederPlex(TM) Cable for Commercial and Industrial Markets
ATLANTA, United States, April 13 /- Alcan Cable, a division of Alcan Inc.'s (NYSE, TSX: AL) Engineered Products group, introduced today its new STABILOY® FeederPlex(TM) cable, an innovative solution for phase conductor identification in commercial and industrial applications. Consisting of a plexed assembly of STABILOY Type XHHW-2 conductors with color coded phase conductors, FeederPlex provides total installed cost savings for pipe and wire installations while providing clear phase identification.
"As the only plexed aluminum conductor assembly offered in the marketplace today, FeederPlex cable offers a unique solution to phase identification requirements," said Ian Hewett, President, Alcan Cable. "The introduction of FeederPlex cable demonstrates Alcan Cable's continuous commitment to deliver quality products and innovative solutions to our customers," he added.
