Medium Voltage Cable Systems

Just like cable producers and distribution system operators, we hold ourselves to high standards. Our medium voltage (MV) cable insulation, shielding and jacketing compounds can help you meet or exceed standards like: ANSI¹, ICEA², IEC³, CENELEC⁴, VDE DKE⁵ and VNIIKP/GOST R⁶.

For more than 75 years, we’ve been collaborating to address distribution cable performance challenges for the electrical infrastructure industry, which is why our MV cable solutions are designed to work together and independently to contribute to low life-cycle system economics, excellent cable performance, reliability and longevity that can exceed international standards.

Our compounds for medium voltage cable systems have exceptional water tree retardant performance and excellent retained breakdown strength (AWTT), with additional benefits like:

Working with Dow powers your distribution cable systems with a portfolio of insulation, shielding and jacketing compounds that have shown to work well together. Plus, our intensive and accelerated testing capabilities and more than 75 years of experience make us an innovation partner who can help you meet the requirements of today and anticipate the needs of tomorrow.

Let’s harness the power and longevity that comes from collaboration to meet your unique cable requirements.
