Cabling conditions in Newcastle
Newcastle grew around steel and coal. A large steelworks, coke and chemical plants, and many textile and clothing factories use heavy three-phase supplies, armoured feeders and plenty of maintenance cable. Coal mining in the surrounding area and the nearby Majuba power station add industrial demand. Highveld-style summer thunderstorms bring frequent lightning, while winters are cold and frosty. Newcastle Local Municipality supplies the town, and cable theft and vandalism of municipal infrastructure are ongoing concerns. Residential work in Madadeni, Osizweni and the older suburbs focuses on rewiring, prepaid meter connections and backup power installations.

Typical cable tray requests in the area come from:
- Factories and workshops: factories run heavy-duty ladder tray along trusses to feed machines and distribution boards
- Mines and quarries: mines use hot-dip galvanised ladder tray built to handle heavy armoured cables and harsh conditions
- Homeowners: large homes run wire mesh tray in the roof for solar, data and sub-DB cables
- Municipal and public works: municipal substations, pump stations and public buildings use galvanised tray for control and power cables
- Shops and retail: retailers hide wire mesh tray above ceilings for lighting, tills, CCTV and data
