Milwaukee, Wisconsin – IEWC has been named the primary distributor stocking HUBER+SUHNER high voltage cables in North America. HUBER+SUHNER, based in Switzerland, is a leading manufacturer of low frequency cables used in electric/hybrid vehicles as well as rail and transit applications. This distribution agreement further bolsters IEWC’s position as a key supplier of cable for electric, rail, and transit vehicle and accessory developers in North America and globally. This agreement will provide HUBER+SUHNER customers (particularly those with design- and smaller production-stage runs) access to a world-class stocking and value-add logistics partner that will give them more flexibility in their procurement and inventory strategies.
With shielded and unshielded offerings in single- and multi-conductor products, HUBER+SUHNER cables meet a variety of global cable standards and requirements while providing functionality for a variety of transportation vehicles and systems. HUBER+SUHNER wire and cable, available in sizes from 2.5 mm2 to 120 mm2, utilizes unique RADOX® cross-linked insulation that enables the cable to withstand temperatures up to 150ºC while carrying voltages of 1000V AC and 1500V DC, meeting the rigorous demands of high-voltage lines for both on- and off-road vehicles as well as rail and transit transport vehicles and mechanisms.
