Airdac SNE & CNE Concentric Cable

The Airdac SNE & CNE Concentric Cable is a robust low-voltage aerial service connection cable designed for reliable house service from the distribution network to the consumer meter. It features a circular stranded hard-drawn copper phase conductor insulated with XLPE, surrounded by concentrically arranged neutral and earth conductors, and protected by a black polyethylene sheath. The SNE version provides separate neutral and earth conductors, while the CNE version combines them for simplified earthing. With a nylon ripcord for easy stripping and UV-stabilized materials, this cable offers excellent mechanical strength, electrical performance, and long-term durability. Manufactured to SANS 1507-6 and related standards, the Airdac SNE & CNE Concentric Cable undergoes rigorous quality testing from raw materials to finished product, ensuring safe, tamper-resistant, and vandal-proof performance in overhead or underground installations.

Quality Control

Airdac SNE & CNE Concentric Cable
Raw Material Test

Raw Material Test

Raw Material Test is the critical first step in manufacturing the Airdac SNE & CNE Concentric Cable. Incoming hard-drawn copper rods undergo detailed chemical composition analysis to confirm high purity and conductivity. Mechanical testing verifies that tensile strength, elongation, and hardness meet SANS 1507-6 requirements. XLPE and polyethylene compounds are tested for thermal stability, UV resistance, and insulation properties. Surface quality inspection and dimensional checks detect any defects or inconsistencies in rod and compound materials. Only raw materials that fully pass every stringent criterion are approved for wire drawing, stranding, and extrusion in the production of the Airdac SNE & CNE Concentric Cable. This thorough incoming inspection guarantees consistent high conductivity, mechanical strength, and long-term durability for reliable aerial service connections.

 

Process inspection

Process inspection

Process Inspection during manufacturing of the Airdac SNE & CNE Concentric Cable maintains precise control at every stage. After drawing copper wires to exact diameters, continuous monitoring verifies dimensional tolerances and surface quality. The concentric stranding process employs real-time tension control and lay length verification to achieve uniform arrangement of phase, neutral, and earth conductors. XLPE insulation and PE sheath extrusion are carefully controlled for thickness uniformity and adhesion. Online diameter measurement systems and frequent visual checks prevent defects such as uneven lay or insulation imperfections. Key process parameters including temperature and speed are strictly logged. Mid-process sampling includes partial electrical and mechanical tests. Any deviation triggers immediate corrective action. These rigorous in-process controls safeguard the structural integrity and electrical properties of the Airdac SNE & CNE Concentric Cable, delivering a high-quality, tamper-resistant service entrance cable.

 

Finished Product

Finished Product

Finished Product testing ensures every reel of Airdac SNE & CNE Concentric Cable meets the highest quality standards. Comprehensive dimensional verification confirms overall diameter, conductor alignment, and sheath thickness. High-voltage and insulation resistance tests validate electrical performance. Mechanical tests measure tensile strength and elongation. Full visual and tactile inspections check for surface defects or sheath imperfections. All examinations follow SANS 1507-6 standards with detailed records for full traceability. Packaging and marking accuracy are also verified. Only the Airdac SNE & CNE Concentric Cable that successfully passes 100% of these final inspections receives approval for shipment. This rigorous final quality gate assures customers of outstanding conductivity, mechanical strength, weather resistance, and reliable performance in aerial or underground house service applications.

 

Application

The Airdac SNE & CNE Concentric Cable is ideal for aerial house service connections, underground service entrance, sub-main distribution, street lighting, and high-rise building connections in residential and light commercial networks.

FAQ From Customers

What are the advantages of power cables and overhead lines?
(1) Reliable operation, because it is installed in a hidden place such as underground, it is less damaged by external forces, has less chance of failure, and the power supply is safe, and it will not cause harm to people;
(2) The maintenance workload is small and frequent inspections are not required;
(3) No need to erect towers;
(4) Help improve power factor.
Which aspects should be considered when choosing the cross section of a power cable?
(1) The long-term allowable working current of the cable;
(2) Thermal stability once short circuited;
(3) The voltage drop on the line cannot exceed the allowable working range.
What are the measures for cable fire prevention?
(1) Use flame-retardant cables;
(2) Use fireproof cable tray;
(3) Use fireproof paint;
(4) Fire partition walls and fire baffles are installed at cable tunnels, mezzanine exits, etc.;
(5) Overhead cables should avoid oil pipelines and explosion-proof doors, otherwise local pipes or heat insulation and fire prevention measures should be taken.
What should be paid attention to during the transportation and handling of cables?
(1) During transportation, loading and unloading, cables and cable reels should not be damaged. It is strictly forbidden to push the cable reels directly from the vehicle. Generally, cables should not be transported and stored flat.
(2) Before transporting or rolling the cable reel, ensure that the cable reel is firm, the cable is wound tightly, the oil pipe between the oil-filled cable and the pressure oil tank should be fixed without damage, the pressure oil tank should be firm, and the pressure indication should meet the requirements.
What inspections should be carried out for the acceptance of cable lines?
(1) The cable specifications should meet the regulations, the arrangement should be neat, no damage, and the signs should be complete, correct and clear;
(2) The fixed bending radius of the cable, the related distance and the wiring of the metal sheath of the single-core power cable should meet the requirements;
(3) The cable terminal and the middle head should not leak oil, and the installation should be firm. The oil pressure of the oil-filled cable and the meter setting should meet the requirements;
(4) Good grounding;
(5) The color of the cable terminal is correct, and the metal parts such as the bracket are completely painted;
(6) There should be no debris in the cable trench, tunnel, and bridge, and the cover should be complete.
