APPLICATIONS
XHHW wire is primarily used for service entrance, feeder, and branch circuit wiring in building electrical systems, and is widely used in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and large residential projects.
Industrial Plant
XHHW wire is used as a feeder cable to transmit power from transformers or main distribution boards to distribution cabinets for various production lines in the workshop, capable of withstanding the heat and electrical loads generated by equipment operation.
Commercial Building
XHHW wire is commonly used to run from the building's main distribution board (MDB) to floor distribution boxes, routed through metal conduits or cable trays, ensuring stable transmission of three-phase power and suitable for long-term full-load operation.
Cable Tray
In commercial or industrial buildings, XHHW wire is centrally routed in cable trays to connect multiple distribution circuits, facilitating unified wiring, maintenance, and future system expansion.
Hospitals
XHHW wire is commonly used in the power distribution systems of hospitals, schools, and other public buildings, providing a stable power supply for lighting, air conditioning, and basic power systems, meeting high requirements for safety and reliability.

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:
Luis Fernando Pérez - Venezuela - Office Building Project
The wires are of very good quality. The cables need to pass through long pipes and corners, and the cables are very flexible. We also ordered fire-resistant wires, which have been tested by a testing agency and found to be without problems.
Thomas Baker - USA - Factory construction
GERITEL WIRE's engineering team was very professional. They offered suggestions based on our cable requirements, and we found more suitable cable models. Subsequent operation has been stable without any problems.
Ricardo José Herrera - Dominican - Hotel Project
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.
