APPLICATIONS
Cable Tray & Raceway Systems, Conduit Wiring, Service Entrance Wiring, Branch Circuit Wiring, Underground Conduit Installation. This wire fits all common indoor and buried power distribution layouts.

Underground Conduit Installation
Thanks to the THWN-2 wet-location rating, this wire performs steadily inside sealed damp buried conduits. It resists slow moisture penetration from soil and maintains insulation integrity for long-term underground power supply without extra waterproof sheathing.

Conduit Wiring
Optimized for pulling through long, multi-bend PVC and metal raceways embedded inside walls and ceilings. The compact outer diameter meets standard conduit fill limits, while scratch-resistant insulation avoids damage during large-scale concealed wiring construction.

Service Entrance Wiring
Perfect for short overhead service runs that connect utility power meters directly to main distribution panels. It handles continuous incoming power supply and resists minor outdoor temperature fluctuations before entering the building interior.

Branch Circuit Wiring
Perfect for short overhead service runs that connect utility power meters directly to main distribution panels. It handles continuous incoming power supply and resists minor outdoor temperature fluctuations before entering the building interior.

What are people saying about us
Philippine bulk buyers consistently comment on our consistent pure copper quality, permit-matching wire specs, ample ready stock and fast sea shipment lead time to Manila ports.


Luis Fernando Pérez - Venezuela - Office Building Project
The wires are of very good quality. The cables need to pass through long pipes and corners, and the cables are very flexible. We also ordered fire-resistant wires, which have been tested by a testing agency and found to be without problems.


Thomas Baker - USA - Factory construction
GERITEL WIRE's engineering team was very professional. They offered suggestions based on our cable requirements, and we found more suitable cable models. Subsequent operation has been stable without any problems.


Ricardo José Herrera - Dominican - Hotel Project
Due to the tight schedule of the hotel project, we had to adjust the usage quantity several times. GERITEL WIRE supplier was very flexible in terms of delivery and packaging, with fast delivery times. The wire reels were clearly labeled, making on-site counting and distribution very convenient.
