Paper Insulated Cables

(PILC)

  • Paper insulated cables have been in use longer than any other type of cable insulation and, due to the reputation built up over the years, are still today a great favourite with engineers.
  • When properly selected and correctly installed, this product can be relied upon to provide a satisfactory and trouble-free performance for many years. Aberdare Cables started making paper insulated cables in South Africa in 1948.
  • Our association with one of Europe’s largest and oldest cable manufacturers placed at our disposal the technical expertise and research facilities which paved the way for an intensive expansion programme which still continues today.
