APPLICATIONS
Our XHHW cable has been installed in commercial electrical rooms and industrial power distribution panels across North America. Installation photos available upon request.

Cable Tray and Raceway Systems
XHHW/XHHW-2 wire is ideally suited for conduit wiring applications, pulling smoothly through EMT, rigid metal, and PVC conduits. Its abrasion-resistant insulation and stranded conductor options ensure reliable performance and long service life in both new construction and retrofit installations.

Branch Circuit Wiring
XHHW/XHHW-2 wire is widely used in branch circuit wiring, providing reliable power distribution from panelboards to lighting, receptacles, and small equipment loads. Its flexible insulation and multiple color options simplify circuit identification and termination in commercial and residential applications.

Feeder Circuit Wiring
For feeder circuits, XHHW/XHHW-2 wire delivers dependable power transmission from service equipment to distribution panels and sub-panels. Its high temperature rating and moisture resistance make it an excellent choice for handling substantial continuous loads in commercial buildings and industrial facilities.

Cable Tray & Raceway Systems
For cable tray and raceway installations, XHHW/XHHW-2 wire offers exceptional performance with its durable XLPE insulation that resists mechanical stress and environmental exposure. The wire's versatility allows for neat, organized routing in open tray systems, making it a preferred choice for industrial and commercial power distribution projects.

What are people saying about us
Our customers have consistently shared positive feedback about our cables and services. Here’s what they say about US:


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.
