first North American energy cable
manufacturing facility, in Tarboro,
NC.
The result of a two-year collabora-
tion between LS Cable & System,
Superior Essex and the city of Tar-
boro, the new plant will allow for
a significant increase in energy
cable production to meet the de-
mands of commercial, industrial
and utility customers.

125 feet high tower, for medium
voltage cable production, and
additional equipment to cover
a range of energy applications.

technology were supplied by

of the Superior Essex energy
cable portfolio included low
voltage
300V

voltage 600V control cables.
