Low friction power cabling

Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors
Aberdare Cables manufactures the Slipdac range of general purpose wiring with low friction characteristics. The wiring offers users a significantly easier approach to pull through conduit than standard house wire, saving time and effort.
Designed for wiring in industrial buildings, housing and control panels, Slipdac’s cable-to-conduit and cable-to-cable friction is markedly lower than standard products thanks to a specially developed low-friction PVC compound used in the insulation. The cable is particularly suited to long and difficult wiring runs.
Slipdac features high conductivity annealed stranded copper conductors to SANS 1411 Part 1, insulated with PVC to SANS 1411 Part 2 with a voltage rating of 600/1000 V and operating temperature range from -10 to 70°C.
The Slipdac PVC compound is low-friction as a result of slip additives migrating to the cable surface and therefore lower pulling forces are required to draw the cable through the conduit run making installation a much easier process.
Perforations at both the top and bottom of the packaging allow coils to be stacked one on top of the other so that different coloured wires can be drawn smoothly and simultaneously into the conduit.
