Description:
Fordham 1000 MCM is an underground cable made of one aluminum conductor. The conductor has excellent conductivity and is tucked in a polyethylene insulation which makes it ideal for underground installations. It works in places with temperatures not exceeding 90°C. The single conductor cable transmits power at 600 volts. The ampacity standing is 670 amps but when in ducts the ampacity is 545 amps.

Applications:
This secondary distribution wire is commonly used in residential settings. It is specifically meant for underground power transmissions this is resistant to rocky obstacles commonly found in these areas. Furthermore it can be used as a direct burial wire which involves direct insertion in to the soil with the use of a conduit or duct for protection. However its performance can be affected in these applications if the maximum temperature rating exceeds 90°C in both wet and dry locations.

Conductors:
The conductors are made of Aluminum which are compressed at 1350-H19.

Insulation:
Aluminum URD cable has a cross-linked polyethylene insulation (XLPE) which can withstand high temperatures of up to 90°C.

Features:
• Robust and sturdy insulation
• It is resistant to high temperatures
• 600 volt URD cable
• Moisture and chemical resistant

Standards:
• ASTM B-230
• ASTM B-609
• ICEA S-105-692
• RUS ACCEPTED
