Advantages of cable
FAA L-824 cables use multi-strand copper conductors, offering excellent conductivity and mechanical flexibility. The conductors are covered with EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) insulation, ensuring electrical safety and heat resistance under high-voltage operating conditions. The outer sheath is made of weather-resistant and corrosion-resistant CPE/PVC material, protecting against UV radiation, moisture, and the corrosive effects of underground installations.

APPLICATIONS
Unshielded 5kV FAA L-824 cable is suitable for standard FAA main lighting circuits. It can safely transmit 5kV voltage without additional shielding and supports conduit laying or direct underground installation. FAA L-824 Type B cable is widely used in runway edge lights, taxiway lights, obstacle lighting, and navigation facilities.
Runway Edge Lights
FAA L-824 Type B cables provide a stable 5kV constant current power supply for airport runway edge lights, ensuring normal operation of runway lighting at night or in low visibility conditions, improving flight safety.
Taxiway Lighting
Used for the main power supply lines of taxiway lights, the cable's high voltage withstand and weather resistance ensure stable operation of taxiway lights over long periods, reducing maintenance frequency.
Obstacle Lighting
Suitable for high-voltage lighting lines for airport towers, masts, and other obstacles, providing reliable power support to ensure clear visibility of obstacle markings at night.
Navigation Facilities
FAA L-824 Type B cables can connect to navigation equipment and signal lights, ensuring continuous power supply to navigation systems in all weather conditions, supporting precise air traffic guidance.

What are people saying about us
Our customers have consistently shared positive feedback about our cables and services. Here’s what they say about US:
Angelo Reyes - Philippine
When collaborating with the factory to customize solar photovoltaic lines, their technical team provided detailed answers to our specification questions and offered sample testing plans. The cables fully comply with IEC standards.
Aleksi Niemi - Finland
Comparing Geritel Wire with other big brands, I found their quality to be almost identical, and at a much better value. I’m delighted with the purchase and truly impressed with their professionalism and product.
Ricardo José Herrera - Dominican
Due to the tight schedule of the hotel project, we had to adjust the usage quantity several times. GERITEL WIRE supplier was very flexible in terms of delivery and packaging, with fast delivery times. The wire reels were clearly labeled, making on-site counting and distribution very convenient.
