Cabling conditions in East London

East London is a river port with a strong automotive industry. A vehicle assembly plant and component makers in the industrial development zone need three-phase supplies, armoured cable and regular maintenance. The city sits on the coast, so homes in Nahoon, Gonubie and the Quigney feel the effect of salt air on outdoor lights, gate motors and pool pumps. Buffalo City Metro supplies most of the urban area, and ageing municipal infrastructure has made many owners invest in solar and backup batteries. Older homes near the Buffalo River often need rewiring to current standards before they can be sold.

Typical electrical cable requests in the area come from:

Factories and workshops: armoured supplies to machines and motor control centres, run on cable tray and ladder
Homeowners: surfix and house wire for extensions, new plug and light circuits, and rewiring older homes
Coastal properties: corrosion-resistant glands, lugs and sheathing that stand up to salt air
Solar and backup power: PV string cable, battery cable and AC cable between inverter, DB board and backup circuits
Shops and retail: shopfitting circuits, signage supplies, cable tray and conduit for retail centres
