Advantages of XHHW cable
XLPE insulation and stranded copper conductor deliver superior moisture resistant, heat resistant, and sunlight resistant performance, ensuring long-term reliability in both 90°C wet and dry environments. The thermoset insulation provides higher ampacity and better overload protection compared to PVC cables, while the stranded design facilitates easy installation through conduit and cable tray systems.

APPLICATIONS
Ideal for XHHW-2 Copper Wire for main distribution panel to XHHW-2 Copper Wire for subpanel feeder connections, as well as XHHW-2 Copper Wire for underground conduit and XHHW-2 Copper Wire for cable tray systems. Widely used in XHHW-2 Copper Wire for commercial electrical room, XHHW-2 Copper Wire for factory electrical installation, XHHW-2 Copper Wire for warehouse power distribution, XHHW-2 Copper Wire for high-rise building wiring, and XHHW-2 Copper Wire for manufacturing plant feeder wiring.
Industrial Plant
XHHW wire is used as a feeder cable to transmit power from transformers or main distribution boards to distribution cabinets for various production lines in the workshop, capable of withstanding the heat and electrical loads generated by equipment operation.
Commercial Building
XHHW wire is commonly used to run from the building's main distribution board (MDB) to floor distribution boxes, routed through metal conduits or cable trays, ensuring stable transmission of three-phase power and suitable for long-term full-load operation.
Cable Tray
In commercial or industrial buildings, XHHW wire is centrally routed in cable trays to connect multiple distribution circuits, facilitating unified wiring, maintenance, and future system expansion.
Hospitals
XHHW wire is commonly used in the power distribution systems of hospitals, schools, and other public buildings, providing a stable power supply for lighting, air conditioning, and basic power systems, meeting high requirements for safety and reliability.

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.
