Theft Deterrent Aluminium Power Cables for Remote Sites

Copper cable left on a remote site can be an invitation to thieves, and the replacement cost is rarely the worst part of it. Aluminium power cables from AP Technology are less attractive to thieves, which can make a real difference on exposed sites. Good examples include construction sites, solar farms, temporary compounds and remote plant. It is not a replacement for proper site security, of course, but it does take away part of the incentive and it reduces your exposure to copper prices. The sheath is built for hard use. Alinduflex is resistant to gear and hydraulic oils, ozone resistant to EN 60811-403 and UV resistant to UL 1581. Handling and flexibility are outstanding for a cable of this class, so it is well suited to work where cable gets laid, moved, recovered and laid again. A range brochure with full specifications is available from AP Technology. Copper prices do not set the cost of an aluminium cable in the same way, so Alinduflex is largely independent from those base metal price fluctuations.

Aluminium is also less attractive to thieves, which is worth thinking about on temporary installations and remote sites. Add the lower freight bill and the sums often look different to a straight price per metre comparison.
