Q: Do we or can we offer copper tape shield on low volt products? The Minnesota Department of Transportation used to use a “bronze tape shield” LV product for the direct burial road lighting cables. They have now moved to Copper tape shield.

A: Our VFD cables use a copper tape over XLPE conductors, so yes, we have the capability to make this cable. Tape thickness is 10mil vs. our standard 5mil. It is odd that there is no ground wire in contact with the shield, perhaps the metal tape is for rodent control? Please note that we are not currently quoting VFD cables at this time.
