Cable supply for projects
We supply low, medium and high voltage cable, bare overhead conductor, control cable and building wire from large Chinese mills, tested and documented for import and project use. Voltage range from 0.6/1 kV to 500 kV, manufactured to IEC, BS, DIN, ASTM and NFC standards.
Product range
One supplier for the whole project bill of cable, so you do not split a container across four vendors and four sets of documents.
0.6/1 kV
XLPE and PVC insulated power cable for distribution, buildings and industrial plants. Copper or aluminium conductor, unarmoured or armoured.
3.6/6 – 26/35 kV
XLPE insulated, metallic screened cable for substations, feeders and renewable energy plants.
Up to 500 kV
HV and EHV XLPE cable for utility transmission projects, supplied with route engineering and jointing support.
SWA / STA
Steel wire and steel tape armoured cable for direct burial, duct and tray installation where mechanical protection is required.
ABC
LV aerial bundled cable for overhead distribution, with insulated phase cores twisted around a bare or insulated messenger.
Bare conductor
ACSR, AAAC, ACAR and AAC for transmission and distribution lines, manufactured to ASTM and IEC conductor standards.
KVV / KVVP
Screened and unscreened control cable for switchgear, plants and automation, with numbered cores and colour identification.
BV / BVR / H07V
Single core wire for conduit wiring, panels and appliances. PVC or LSZH, solid or stranded, in fixed or flexible versions.
H1Z2Z2-K
Cross linked, halogen free PV cable rated 1.5 kV DC, UV and ozone resistant for rooftop and utility scale solar plants.
Why buyers work with us
We buy directly from large Chinese cable manufacturers. Fewer hands on the order means a shorter price chain and a supplier who can actually answer technical questions.
Conductor resistance, dimensions, insulation thickness and drum marking are checked before loading. Third party inspection through SGS, BV or Intertek can be arranged at your cost.
Invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and conformity certificates for the destination market are prepared to your customs broker's format.
Power cable, building wire and accessories can be combined in one container, so you clear one shipment instead of four.
Send the cable schedule and we check the standard, conductor material and installation conditions against what we can supply. If a specification cannot be met, we say so before you commit.
Drum plates, cable print, labels and packaging can be produced to your own brand and marking requirements.
Manufacturing base
Orders are placed with large Chinese cable manufacturers whose production lines and testing laboratories cover the full range we sell, from 0.6/1 kV building wire to 500 kV transmission cable.
Order to delivery
You send the cable schedule or a list of types and sizes. We confirm the standard, conductor material and quantity, and flag anything that cannot be met.
Itemised offer with unit price, drum length, delivery time and validity, normally within 24 hours.
Manufacture against the confirmed specification, with routine tests on every length and third party inspection where requested.
Drums marked to your requirement, container loading supervised and photographed, and a loading report sent to you before departure.
Full document set issued for customs clearance, with the shipping schedule confirmed in advance.
| Minimum order | From one LCL shipment, or one 20 ft container for standard sizes |
|---|---|
| Quotation validity | 3 working days, or as stated in the offer |
| Price basis | Copper price linked; offers state the reference copper price and the adjustment rule |
| Payment | To be agreed per order, commonly T/T with deposit and balance against copy of bill of lading, or L/C at sight |
| Delivery | Typically 15 to 30 days after order confirmation, depending on type and quantity |
| Incoterms | FOB, CFR and CIF quoted on request |
Packing and loading
Most disputes on cable shipments start with damage in transit, or with an unexplained difference between the order and what arrived. Both are handled before the container is sealed.
Wooden, plywood or steel drums sized to the cable type, with the cable end fixed to the drum and sealed against moisture. Smaller building wire is supplied in coils or small drums for the trade.
Drum plates carry your company name, cable type, size, length, drum number and gross weight, in your own wording. Cable surface printing can carry your brand as well.
Drums are banded to the container floor and end faces protected, and the load is photographed. A loading report listing every drum number is sent to you before the vessel departs, so you can check the shipment against the order.
| Drum count | Number of drums by type and size |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | Flange diameter and overall width of each drum |
| Weight | Net cable weight and gross weight per drum, and the container total |
| Utilisation | Floor area and volume used, and the remaining capacity |
| Load sequence | Placement order for even weight distribution |
| Approval | Sent to you for approval before loading where the order allows |
Tell us the container size and the delivery date. We will send a load plan for approval before production finishes, so that what you booked is what actually fits.
Questions buyers ask
There is no fixed figure. A single drum can be shipped by LCL, though the freight per tonne is higher. For most standard sizes the freight becomes sensible from around one 20 ft container. Mixed containers combining several cable types are normal for us.
Cable is priced against the copper price on the day. Every quotation states the reference copper price it was built on and a validity period, normally three working days. If you need a longer validity, the copper price can be fixed at order stage and stated on the contract.
Yes. Cores, conductor material, insulation and sheath compound, armouring, drum length and marking can all be produced to a specification rather than a catalogue size. Send the standard number or the drawing and we will confirm before quoting.
Routine test certificates per production length, mill test certificates, type test reports from accredited laboratories, ISO 9001 quality system evidence, and conformity certificates for the destination market where they are held. Certificate copies are provided with the quotation so you can check them before ordering.
Yes. Inspection through SGS, BV, Intertek or another agency can be arranged before shipment at your cost. Tell us at order stage so the inspection can be booked into the production schedule rather than bolted on at the end.
Terms are agreed per order. Common arrangements are T/T with a deposit and the balance against a copy of the bill of lading, or an irrevocable letter of credit at sight. For repeat customers other arrangements can be discussed.
Send the drum number, the test data and photographs. Because test records are kept against the drum number, we can trace the specific production length, identify whether the issue is material, installation or handling, and respond to the claim on facts rather than on argument.
Markets
We work with distributors, contractors, EPC companies and project buyers in markets where Chinese cable is competitive and documentation requirements are strict.
Tell us the destination country and the standard on your drawing. We will say at enquiry stage which certificates we can supply and which we cannot, so you are not committed before you know.
Type, size, quantity and destination port are enough to start. We will come back with an itemised quotation.
