Year 2000 compliance is a looming concern for many utilities. Southwire has had an aggressive Y2K program in place since 1995-well before many companies began to think about it. The bulk of Southwire processes have already been tested, changed and put back in service. That helps ensure that you'll be able to get the wire and cable you need in January of the year 2000. Southwire technology will help utilities compete.
Advanced technology comes via many routes.
One of them is industry cooperation. Better research makes better cable. And better cable means improved service and lower costs for transmission and distribution applications. The center has expertise for electrical and mechanical testing from connector evaluation to cable pulling parameters, from insulators to failure investigation. This is a very extensive test program.
