Ordering materials for a project—whether it’s your first or your five-hundredth—shouldn’t be a hassle. But too often, procurement teams face long lead times, unclear specs, and complex quoting processes.

At Performance Wire and Cable, we make it easy. As a trusted manufacturer and supplier of cathodic protection (CP) cable, we’ve helped engineers, project managers, and buyers streamline their sourcing process for over two decades.

Which Cathodic Protection Cable Do You Need?

Choosing the right cathodic protection cable for your project is very important. The long-term success of your cathodic protection (CP) system depends on selecting the right cable. Each environment presents unique challenges, from soil abrasion to aggressive chemical exposure, and choosing the proper insulation is critical for ensuring system integrity and performance.

Here’s a quick guide to the CP cable options offered by Performance Wire & Cable.

HMWPE (High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)

  • Our most popular option
  • Excellent resistance to abrasion, crushing, and pressure
  • 600V rated; available in sizes 14–1/0 AWG
  • Ideal for most underground and standard CP applications

HALAR/HMWPE

  • Designed for environments with chlorine or hydrogen gas exposure
  • Dual insulation: HALAR outer layer for chemical resistance, HMWPE inner for durability
  • Used in more aggressive corrosion environments

KYNAR/HMWPE

  • Superior resistance to acids and corrosive chemicals
  • Handles exposure to sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, chlorine, and more
  • Recommended for high-risk industrial and marine settings
