Cabling conditions in Western Cape

In the Western Cape, cable work has to suit both a salty coastline and a busy winter rainfall season. Outdoor runs, distribution boards and glands near the sea need corrosion-resistant fittings, while wet winters expose poor joints and water ingress in older installations. Cape Town's municipal grid helped shield some customers from the worst load-shedding, but rooftop solar has still grown strongly across homes, wine farms and businesses, creating steady demand for PV and battery cable. Farms in the Boland and along the West Coast need long underground feeds to pumps, cellars and staff housing, and building activity in the city and coastal towns keeps wholesalers busy.

Typical copper and aluminium cable requests in the area come from:

Homeowners: homeowners use copper cable for all circuits and sometimes aluminium for long supply runs
Solar and backup power: solar installers use copper for DC and AC wiring, and aluminium on long feeders to large arrays
Farms and smallholdings: farms run aluminium cable on long supplies to pump stations, barns and worker houses
Coastal properties: coastal sites need well-sealed terminations because salt air speeds up corrosion
Complexes and body corporates: complexes feed blocks of units with aluminium sub-mains and copper cable inside each unit
Shops and retail: shopping centres run large aluminium feeders to tenant DB boards with copper final circuits
