Control Cables

Wind turbines stand tall on the landscape both onshore and offshore, harnessing natural resources to generate renewable energy.                

Our range of cables for wind turbine towers, nacelles, and their rotor engines support power production from renewable energy installations. The turbines must be durable and able to withstand both the mechanical application and the environmental challenges they may face. As with many applications, limiting downtime and maintenance brings down the cost of production - all important when you're also relying on the weather.

We supply a range of power network cables for utilities grid providers (including DNO-approved cables) and local power distribution systems cabling for the Building & Construction industry.              

Our cables are manufactured in accordance with a number of British, European and International standards including BS7870 and IEC60502.

Eland Cables’ range of Copper (Cu) and Aluminium (Al) Concentric and Split Concentric cables to BS7870 and 11kV and 33kV cables specifically designed and approved for use on the areas of the UK national grid maintained and operated by UKPN, SSE, WPD, NPG, ENW and SPEN. These DNOs to provide the final connection to residential, commercial and industrial properties. Local network distribution cables are also used for sub-main distribution and for street lighting. These are available with oversheathing in Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) or Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). Low Voltage Waveform cables are also available for each of the UK DNOs.

Eland Cables supplies a range of fibre optic cables for both indoor and outdoor installations. These are interchangeably referred to as fibre optic and optical fibre.

Fibre optic cables consist of glass threads, each capable of transmitting digital data modulated into light waves. They effectively send information coded in a beam of light through a glass or plastic pipe. A key advantage of fibre optic cables over metal conductor cables is their superior performance in terms of bandwidth and therefore data carrying performance. Optical fibre cables are generally lighter and less susceptible to electromagnetic interference, however optical fibre tends to be more fragile than cables with a metal conductor.

The applications for optical fibre range from carrying telephone calls (up to several million calls per cable) to high speed data transfer for vast computer networks.
