U.S.A. Wire & Cable - Cable Management Services

As a master distributor of specialty wire and cable, U.S.A. Wire & Cable is uniquely qualified to handle any
industrial projects your customers may have involving power, control, tray, instrumentation, thermocouple,
armored, and portable power cables.
A large portion of our service for project support normally includes some level of cable management. A cable
management program can vary in scope from a simple logistics package to a highly integrated bundle of
services.
As opposed to many suppliers that loosely broadcast the term cable management, U.S.A. Wire & Cable
defines in detail each possible component that can be combined to tailor a custom package for any project
your customers may have. Our package may contain any or all of the following:
Specification clarification and interpretation we have many years of experience in the technical
evaluation and formulation of wire & cable specifications. Since we represent a wide range of
manufacturers, we can offer unbiased assistance to make sure your specifications are up to date and
that the materials furnished meet or exceed your customers expectations. In addition, we can assist
with value added engineering with selection of alternative constructions to decrease overall project costs.
Prepurchase of bulk wire & cable for project needs under contract we can acquire all cable items
needed for a particular project insuring delivery schedules can be met with no guesswork. Cable
requirement changes can be accomplished seamlessly throughout the project. In most cable
management scenarios, cable is not invoiced to you or your customer until it is released to the job site.
Storage the cable can be stored at our facility, at the job site, or near the job site, as project
requirements dictate.
Packaging cable can be released in bulk reels to the jobsite when specific lengths are not available
or if individual pull requirements are known, cable can be cut to circuit length, wrapped and tagged with circuit
and all applicable identifying information. U.S.A. Wire & Cable packaging standards are the best in the
industry. Your cable arrives at the jobsite consistently damage free and ready to use, minimizing freight
claims and costly reissuing of releases and rescheduling of field resources.
Documentation and reporting throughout the project term, we keep you informed with detailed, up to
the minute analysis of the cable package in place for your job. By monitoring the cable down to each
specific reel, waste can be minimized, and usage trends can be identified so that a continuous flow of
product is assured throughout the life of your project.
End of project disposal At project end remaining product in appropriate lengths can be retained in
our inventory with pre-agreed upon restocking terms. This service eliminates the common practice
of job end random sale or scrapping of leftover cable.
In addition to the above menu of services, U.S.A. Wire & Cable can perform almost any requested task to
make your project's wire & cable requirements flow smoothly.

*For dwelling units, conductors, as listed below, shall be permitted as

120/240 volt, 3 wire, single phase service-entrance conductors, service
lateral conductors and feeder conductors that serve as the main power feeder
to a dwelling unit and are installed in raceway or cable with or without an
equipment grounding conductor. For application of this section, the main
power feeder shall be the feeder(s) between the main disconnect and the
lighting and appliance branch-circuit panel board(s) and the feeder
conductors to a dwelling unit shall not be required to be larger than their
service entrance conductors. The grounded conductor shall be permitted to
be smaller than the ungrounded conductors provided the requirements of
Sections 215.2, 220.22 and 230.42 are met.

twelve times the diameter of one phase conductor or seven times the
overall diameter, whichever is greater.
Note: The minimum bending radius applies to the inner surface of the
cable and not to the cable axis.
PULLING TENSIONS
A. Maximum Pulling Tension on Cable
(1) With pulling eye attached to copper conductors, the
maximum pulling tension in pounds should not exceed
0.008 times cir-mil area.

(2) With pulling eye attached to aluminum conductors, the
maximum pulling tension in pounds should not exceed
0.006 times cir-mil area.
T M = 0.008 x n x CM
where
T M = max. tension, lb.
TM
T M = maximum tension, lb.

W = weight of cable per foot, lb.
f = coefficient of friction (usually 0.5)
C. Pulling Tension Requirements in Ducts or Conduits:

(1) For straight sections, the pulling tension in pounds
equals the length of duct or conduit multiplied by the
weight per foot of cable and the coefficient of friction
T=LWf
(paragraph B, above).
(2) For curved sections, the following formula applies:
Tc = T 1 efa
where
T c = tension exiting curved section, lb.
T 1 = tension entering curved section, lb.
a = angle of bend in radians (1 radian = 57.3 deg.)
f = coefficient of friction (usually 0.5)
e = naperian logarithm base
(3) To limit the sidewall bearing pressure on cables at
bends, the maximum pulling tension in pounds shall not
exceed the following factor times the radius of curvature
of bend expressed in feet:

Thermoplastic
Definition: A classification for a solid insulation material

that can be softened and made to flow by heating,
extruded onto wire and quenched in cool water to make
solid again. It can readily be softened and re-softened by
repeated heating, but remains in a safely usable solid
form when operated within its rated temperature limits.

Definition: A classification for an insulation that is
extruded onto wire and then, when subject to heat and
pressure, undergoes a chemical change known as
vulcanization, cross-linking or curing. The process fixes
(sets) the physical properties of the material so that if it is
again exposed to heat, the material will not melt, flow or

Insulation Types
Thermoset (Cont.)
Thermoset insulations normally include a chemical
catalyst additive such as sulfur or peroxide that provides
the means for cross-linking of the material on the
molecular level. Heat kicks off the cross-linking process
and pressure is required to prevent bubbles/voids from
forming due to out-gassing that occurs during the process.
Following are processes typically used to make a material
thermoset:
Pressurized high temperature steam or Nitrogen

cure (CV-Continuous Vulcanization)
Lead or polymer mold - steam autoclave cure
Moisture catalyst cure/cross-linking
High energy electron beam cross-linking

DEFINITION OF SHIELDING:
Shielding of an electric power cable is the practice of confining the electric field
of the cable within the insulation surrounding the conductor. It is accomplished
by means of semiconducting conductor shield and, semiconducting insulation
shield that is in combination with an overlying metallic shield
W-14

Conductor (Strand) Shield
PURPOSE
To prelude excessive voltage stress on voids between conductor and

insulation and eliminate voltage stress enhancing protrusions/
dimensional irregularities to provide a smooth electrode
TYPE
Extruded semi-conducting material compatible with the insulation and

the conductor and shall have allowable operating temperatures equal to
or higher than those of the insulation
BASIC
REQUIREMENTS
Firmly bonded to the overlying insulation

Easily removable from the conductor
Chemically, physically and thermally compatible with conductor and
insulation
W-15

Conductor (Strand) Shielding
The semi-conductive layer between conductor and insulation which
compensates for air voids that exist between conductor and insulation.
Air is a poor insulator, having a nominal dielectric strength of only 55
volts per mil, while most cable insulations have dielectric strengths over
700 volts/mil. Without strand shielding an electrical potential exists that
will over-stress these air voids.
As air breaks down or ionizes, it goes into corona (partial discharges).
This forms ozone which chemically deteriorates cable insulations. The
semi-conductive strand shielding eliminates this potential by simply
shorting out the air.
Modern cables are generally constructed with an extruded strand shield.

INSULATION SHIELD (NON-METALLIC)
PURPOSE
W-20
To confine the electric field within the cable insulation

To obtain symmetrical radial distribution of voltage stress
within the solid dielectric (insulation)
To reduce hazard of shock to personnel
To eliminate damaging effects of varying electrical
conductivity of installation environment
To transfer cable insulation charging current to the metallic
shield

INSULATION SHIELD (METALLIC)
PURPOSE
To safely carry the cable charging current off to a solid

ground point
To provide a substantial barrier for an increase in flame
retardancy of the cable core
To protect the cable core from mechanical damage,
including rodent/termite attack (Bronze tape)
To assist in carrying fault current (Not primary function and
capability will depend on cross section/size of the metallic
shield)
