Applications
CIC cable with a full neutral provides reliable circuit security in underground
distribution systems. They provide greater mechanical protection against accidental dig-in
than the direct burial UD cables normally installed. The Okolene® duct
protects the cable in adverse soil conditions (stone, coarse backfill, corrosive soil
conditions, etc.). The Okoguard CIC cable is commonly installed where the ground above
the cable will be finished with asphalt paving, landscaping, structures, etc.
URO-CIC is particularly advantageous when used in landscaped residential areas since
system expansions may be accomplished without disturbing the lawn and shrubbery.
