Cabling conditions in Upington
Upington has some of the highest solar radiation in the world, and large solar farms in the region have brought specialist contractors and demand for DC and medium-voltage cable. Along the Orange River, table-grape and raisin vineyards depend on irrigation pumps, packhouses and cold stores linked by long underground feeds. Summer temperatures are extreme, so cable must be derated for heat, shaded where possible and protected from UV. Dawid Kruiper Municipality supplies the town, and many homeowners have installed rooftop solar. Rocky, gravelly soil makes trenching slow, and long rural distances add to delivery and installation costs.

Typical flex cable requests in the area come from:
- Solar and backup power: installers use flex for portable inverter and generator leads where cords move and bend
- Farms and smallholdings: farms use outdoor flex for portable pumps, shearing equipment and workshop power tools
- Homeowners: homeowners replace damaged appliance cords and make up proper extension leads for the garden
- Factories and workshops: factories use four- and five-core flex for portable machines, pendant controls and hoists
- Builders and developers: builders run rubber-sheathed three-core flex as site extension cables for grinders and mixers
