What is Type W Power Cable?

Type W Power Cable is basically a heavy-duty cable. What makes it different than other Industrial Power Cables and Cords is its ability to power extreme uses. Type W Power Cable generally consists of bare copper conductor core insulated with Ethylene Propylene (EP) and jacketed with Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) which results in a cable that is flexible, durable and can maintain it’s properties in extreme temps, weather and compression. Perhaps this isn’t new information and you already are familiar with Type W Power Cable and what it’s generally used for. If that’s the case, all we need to share is why would you choose Kalas’ GenFlex™ Type W Power Cable before it’s the competition? We’re glad you asked.

Complete Quality Control

First, we make every one of our wires & cables from scratch in-house. That means from the very start we get to control the quality of your cable and can vouch for each inch of it.

Next we go through extensive quality testing before selecting insulation and jacketing suppliers to assure our customers will receive a product that lives up to and exceeds expectations with which it’s purchased.
